Upon arrival to the area of Katakolo, you can meet our driver either at our office in the port of Katakolo in a very convenient location or at the hotel you are staying at. Our driver will be waiting outside of the office or at the reception of your hotel with a sign of your name. Transfer to our private vehicle and enjoy the ride! First we are heading to a monastery nearby, which has stood for more than 1,200 years in the Peloponnese. Holy Mary of Skafidia, enclosed by a medieval fortress, the only monastery in Greece that has such a fortification, welcomes you to discover it. In addition to its remarkable architecture, it also has many religious and historical treasures such as Holy vessels, vestments, reliquaries, old icons, coins, and much more.
Ilida was the city that had the responsibility of organizing and holding the famous Olympic Games of antiquity. Once you arrive at Ancient Ilida museum, the spacious open-air square welcomes the visitor and offers him an unobstructed, excellent view on the one hand of the archaeological site, on the other hand of the entire plain of Elis up to medieval castle of Chlemoutsi. Visit the Archaeological Museum, with its interesting collection from the site's excavations: statues, inscriptions, reliefs, pottery, figurines, architectural members, which date from the early Hellenic period to the Roman era.
Leaving the museum nearby there is the ancient Theater of Ilis. As you can see, in Greece and this area in particular, what is ‘old’ and ‘new’ is relative. For more than 2,400 years, the theater has hosted plays. Near the Pinios River, it initially operated as a sanctuary and place of worship for the god Apollo. Later, local residents made it one of the oldest theaters in the country.
Our driver will drive you to the Castle of Chlemoutsi. Due to its strategic location, the imposing stronghold guarded the capital Andravida, the harbour of Glarentza and, of course, the palace of the House of the Villehardouin that was situated within its walls. After visiting the castle, stop at a nearby coffee house overlooking the Ionian Sea, with astonishing views extending to the island of Zakinthos. Relax here and enjoy a beverage or light lunch. Finally, our driver will transfer you back to Katakolo port or your nearby hotel, always on time and ready to assist you.
