Two Years Ago - Katakalon

At the entrance to where the Olympic Games were held 3,000 years ago



The second Port of Call was Katakalon (Olympia), Greece. Our excursion took us by bus to Olympia where the first Olympics took place almost 3,000 years ago. We got to see the ruins of the Temple of Zeus. Our tour guide droned on and on, so we ditched her. We looked at the rest of the ruins ourselves and explored the little city's shops. We took a bus back to the port where we ate at a Greek restaurant and watched some Greek dancing. I didn't care for the food. Eric, of course, managed to find some meat he liked.
