KATAKOLON SHORE EXCURSIONS

Designed exclusively for cruise passengers arriving in Katakolon, this immersive shore excursion takes you from the birthplace of the Olympic Games to the rolling vineyards of the Peloponnese—seamlessly blending history, leisure, and local flavor in one perfectly timed experience.
