Katakolon:
We knew we wanted to see Olympia on this stop but we weren’t sure how we wanted to see it. Thanks to the Cruise Critic message boards we found George Letsios of Katakolon Taxi. He got glowing reviews and recommendations. I contacted him directly and he was prompt, friendly and professional; with his replies. We booked him right away about 6 months ahead of our trip, for our short time in Katakolon. We became his “friend” on Facebook, which I thought was fun and made it more personal. Over the months he posted pictures of his tours and family. It made us feel like we knew him.
Katakolon was our first port and we were all still very jet-lagged. Olympia was very interesting but it was also very hot and were dragging a bit. We really like the new museum and loved seeing the Temple of Zeus. George got us there before the big crowds and tour buses and that alone made the whole thing worth it. The ships tours were just arriving as we were leaving. George took us to some other interesting spots but time was short so we didn’t get to see all he wanted to show us. He had a lot of information and was so kind and friendly. Another bonus was that he has Wi-fi in his car…everyone was happy about that. I would highly recommend George for a private tour…I only wish we had more time to really experience all he had to offer. I felt that the price was fair. He was so aware of the time too and really knew the distances between sites. At the end of the tour he drove onto a beach and took our picture with the ship in the background. We were able to pur our feet in the sea which was great too. He dropped us by the port and we had a little time for some souvenir shopping before all-aboard.
