The port of Katakolo is a popular stop for cruise ships, offering an opportunity for passengers to visit the site of Olympia. Low hills with forests surround Katakolo. Visitors here have the opportunity to visit the ancient port of Olympia, the sunken ancient city of Pheia. Ancient Pheia was on the other side of the mountain of Ichthys, now Agios Andreas, within walking distance of Katakolo port. The lighthouse of Katakolo was built in 1865. One of the most important sites of Katakolo is the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology.
The port of Katakolon has become the highest visited port in Greece in passenger numbers. It is the main seagate that serves one of the most renowned and popular archaeological sites in the world, Ancient Olympia.
The port of Katakolo is a great choice for a morning coffee or an evening stroll and we highly recommend you try the ice cream at Maniera! Katakolo has a variety of shops, cafeterias, restaurants, shops with clothing and traditional Greek products.
