About Katakolon
Katakolon, a tiny, unassuming port on the western Peloponnese coast, may not look like a typical cruise destination, but it’s the gateway to one of ancient Greece’s most revered sites—Olympia. Just a short drive inland, Olympia was once a major religious centre dedicated to Zeus and the birthplace of the original Olympic Games. Today, visitors can explore the atmospheric ruins, including ancient temples, training grounds, and the stadium where athletes once competed. If you choose to stay in Katakolon, expect a peaceful pace. The village itself is charming but quiet, with a handful of tavernas and cafés by the water’s edge, perfect for a leisurely Greek lunch as you watch fishing boats bob in the harbour and locals mend their nets. While it may lack major attractions, Katakolon's simplicity and coastal charm offer a relaxed contrast to the grandeur of Olympia, making it a pleasant stop for history lovers and wanderers alike.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
