This tour takes us across the Isthmus of Corinth and the Peloponnese to the valley of the river Alfios to see the ruins of the ancient Olympia, the historic site of the Olympic Games. This was the greatest of the Panhellenic Games and every four years Greeks from all the different city-states would put aside their disputes and come together to compete. The importance of Olympia can still be seen from its ruins, including the Temple of Zeus, which once contained a 13 meter statue of the god made of gold and ivory, the Temple of Hera, the stadium and the Shrine of Pelops. Even today, the Olympic Flame is lit in Olympia and then taken on a relay across the world to end up in the city hosting the Olympic Games. As we cross the Isthmus of Corinth, we stop by the Corinth Canal. Cut 6.4 kilometers through solid rock, it connects the Saronic Gulf and the Corinthian Gulf. It was finished in 1893, even though the idea existed at least as far back as 602 BC!

My friend and I took the one day tour to Olympia today and we had an excellent time due, in no small part, to the wonderful company and also the excellent guide provided to us, Dimitris. The man was professional, courteous, kind, knowledgeable and a joy! His intelligence and love of his homeland made out enjoyment almost surpass his. CATTaxi really is expertly run and operated. A lot of thought and time went into planning this on their part. I have been on many tours in many countries but Dimitris and CATTaxi surpass any other company. When we return to Greece (and due to Dimitris and CATTaxi, we will), we will use your service for all our travel needs. Again, thank you CATTaxi and Mr. Sakkis
