Katakolo: cruise port and gateway to Olympia.
Katakolo is one of western Greece's busiest cruise ports, mainly because it is only 30–40 minutes from Ancient Olympia. From our apartment in central Amaliada you reach the port in roughly 25–30 minutes by car (22 km), while Ancient Olympia is ~38 km (25–40 minutes) away. That makes it easy to fit both into one trip.
🚗 To the port
22 km / ~25–30 min drive to Katakolo, via Pyrgos.
🏛 To Olympia
~38 km to Ancient Olympia — an easy visit before or after your cruise.
🅿️ Free parking

🔑 24-hour check-in
