Overview

Live a Truly Unique Experience in Olympia!

Join this private tour from Katakolon port and enjoy the perfect combination of a visit to the renowned Magna Grecia Agricultural Farm and a trip to the historic site of Olympia.
At Magna Grecia, the fourth generation of the Karabela family proudly continues their legacy, focusing on sustainable and innovative methods to produce premium organic products such as olive oil, olives, and wine.
Take part in an olive harvesting presentation and savour authentic homemade virgin olive oil, local wine, and delicious snacks — all crafted from the farm’s own organic ingredients.
Afterwards, continue to Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Enjoy free time to explore, shop for souvenirs, or simply relax with a coffee or refreshment while taking in the breathtaking views of the Olympian landscape.
