Being heavily medicated and still waiting for the results of the MRI, the doctor gave me the go ahead to leave the ship and so I joined our party. Once again, Cassio and I knew the place and knew it was about a quarter of the price compared to the excursions offered by the ship, to rent our own car for the day and drive from the port town of Katakolon to Olympia and see where the original Olympics were held. It was a hot day and we three ladies took lots of breaks and sat on ancient stones a fair amount of the time.
If you buy the ticket to the grounds and the museum together, you save about 3-4 euros a person. And I definitely recommend you see both, so it really is worth it. The antiquities here are stunning and while the place is not super huge, the museum has some very good examples of early Greek civilization.
