Located in Ilia in the region of Pyrgos, Katakolon is a seaside town that offers scenic views and a fresh ocean breeze. The town is built on a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea. A must see attraction in the town is the lighthouse located in the southwestern part of island. Built and operated in 1865, this iconic landmark speaks of a milestone in the rich history of the town. But the long history of the town transcends the lighthouse. It is the gateway to Olympia – the place where ancient Greeks held their annual feast of athleticism dedicated to Zeus, the origin of what we know now as Olympics.
Today, what remains of the glorious past are remnants of the stadium, quadrangles, treasuries and temples. Katokolon is rich in historical monuments – there is a landmark anywhere. The modern archaeological Museum showcases pieces of ancient Greece as well as Roman sculptures. The famous Nike Winged Victory is also housed in this museum.
Katokolon Cruise Port and Hotels are a top destination for people who visit the place. Most people who visit the town arrive via the Katokolon Cruise Port. If you want to see the town, you can choose to either go for public transport or make transfer arrangements. There are buses and taxicabs available at the port area. However, during touristy seasons, looking for a ride can be quite a problem. If you only have a day or a few hours to spend, you do not want to waste your time waiting for a taxi or a bus to come.
