5.00A must do experience in Katakolon! Mt Olympia was wonderful! Also, be sure to do the bee keeper experience! It was incredible! We got to taste the most incredible honey, learn all about beekeeping, then we got to taste amazing olive oil and balsamic vinegars. It felt like a truly authentic Greek experience! Our tour guides were amazing!
A very nice day.

5.00This was a wonderful excursion. Just enough time and information at the Olympic Site. The honey farm was very nice. But the Olive oil market was really just a big gift shop. It was still nice.

5.00This was a wonderful shore excursion. Our guide Mario was fantastic handling changes to our itinerary due to rain in the morning, and accommodating people who were less mobile than others. The honey farm was really interesting, and our guide at the olympic site was fun and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!
Outstanding educational and tasty excursion !

5.00Eleni, the Olympic site guide, and driver Consta were excellent. The stops to learn about the production and taste the olive oil at Padelina in Ancient Olympia and the history of honey collection and its use at Klio’s honey farm were fascinating and tasty additions to an already wonderful experience. We would highly recommend this excursion.
Taste and see!

5.00This experience was AMAZING! My wife and I found this, and we had wanted to go taste local cuisine and see the Olympic site, and this was the perfect combo!!! Our group was picked up from the port in a comfy private coach, where our amazing guide talked us through the area driving the 30 minutes toward Olympia. After arrival, we had an amazing guided tour through the beautiful and historic Olympic site, and then were taken a few minutes away to a local bee farm, named Kilos Bee Farm. There, we got to meet the owner, Kilo, who offered us drinks and some light refreshments as she explained the life of bees, how honey is made, and allowed us to try her products and purchase some for home! Finally, we drove to a small flea market to try some amazing local olive oils and balsamic, before finally driving back to the town. For anyone who’s a history and food fan, this is the trip for you!!! HIGHLY recommended for all ages!

5.00A wonderful experience visiting the Olympic site, our tour guide was very knowledgeable. I would also highly recommend visiting the Klios Honey Farm. It was an Authentic and quaint Family owned business passed down from 3 generations. The olive oil tasting was a great place to Stop & Shop.
