Honey and Olive oil and Olive tasting

Published on Nov, 2024

Our tour guide Despina met us as planned and the meeting place was easy to find. We went to Kilos farm (Kilo is a beekeeper) where we learned all about honey and had some tasty treats. On the bus we toured beautiful sights. We then went to the olive oil tasting and learned all about olives and oil and did a little bit of shopping before heading back to the cruise ship.

Educational and entertaining excursion.

The guide's excellent description on items at the site plus walking the course of the very first, original race course.

Wonderful Tour of Olympia, Honey Farm, and Olive Oil Tasting

Published on Oct, 2024

We had an amazing day visiting Olympia, a local honey farm, and a market for olive oil tasting. Everything was smooth and well-organized, with pick-up and drop-off right at the cruise port, which made it super convenient. Olympia’s history was fascinating, the honey farm was charming with delicious samples, and the olive oil tasting at the market was a real highlight. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area—especially cruise passengers!

A Tour Which is Well Worth your Time!

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour was exceptional. The driver gave interesting details as we traveled from Katakolon to Olympia. In Olympia we met a certified tourist guide who gave in depth details concerning the Olympia site. She really knew her stuff. After spending time at this extensive site, we went to the museum on the grounds. Here you can see many items which were excavated from the Olympic site. This was very impressive. Afterward our driver took us to a shop where we were able to taste olive oils and other tastey items. Finally we visited a family owned business which processes olives into olive oil. It was educational and entertaining. All fees and entrance costs are covered by this tour.

Wonderful Experience
