  • Good morning, my family will be on the Sapphire Princess when it docks in Katakolon on April 15, 2026. I saw your private tour of Olympia. Could we inquire as to the cost of the private tour for 2 adults and 1 six year old girl? I think she would enjoy the tour as she has been learning greek mythology in school. As for the second part of the trip, I think the honey tasting and minicooking class would be great. Then if there was a good place to have lunch back near the ship? We look forward to hearing from you.

  • Good morning, my family will be on the Enchanted Princess when it docks in Katakolon on July 12, 2026. I saw your private tour of Olympia. Could we inquire as to the cost of the private tour for 2 adults and two boys, ages 13 & 14? I think they would enjoy the tour if you think it would be interesting for teens. As for the second part of the trip, I think they would love a beach visit, but the honey tasting and mini-cooking class sound intriguing. They are very active and love sports and swimming.
