Hi there, I just wanted to warn others that this train ride might have been hijacked, so to speak. We went last week and were told the winery was shut but that the train would still take us to the beach. Big rip off! 5 minute ride to a hotel where there was clearly a deal between the train operator and hoteliers. The beach was so packed it was standing room only, no way we could find a spot, and we had to wait 30 minutes for the train back. The only thing to do (of course!) was buy a very expensive Coca Cola while we waited!

Hi, Im going to a cruise with stop in Katakolon but always take the shore excursions offered by the cruiseship. How often does the train ran to go back to the port?

Dear Natalia,
Thank you so much for your kind words! You really made my day 🙂
I’m glad I’m sending some people your way. It’s totally deserved!
I so enjoyed my time in Katakolon and still remember it fondly.
I hope I can visit again soon and try your famous Ouzo 😉
Love,
Vanda

Hello Vanda!
My name is Natalia and I work to the fun train. I feel the need to thank you so much for your nice comments and review for our Fun Trains Tour! A lot of people the last month were searching us because they found your blog and trusted your comments, so I feel obliged to thank you not only once!!!!
Marios (the one of our two drivers that you are sitting next to him) feels so proud every time tourists come and tell him that they have seen him on internet.
Trying to offer a 40 minutes tour to the countryside so tourist can relax and get an idea how Greek land and villages that do not work with tourist look like, your description was much more better than mine when I explain them where they go and what they will meet!
Thank you once more, and hope seeing you again in Katakolo. Wish we have the opportunity to give you many hugs (Greek ones ) and ouzo for your nice gesture and your kind words for us!

We’ll be cruising there been a cruise in early October. I had booked any excursion from the ship to Olympia. Did some research and decided to cancel definitely after this wonderful, informative post on Katakolo. Thank YOU! may I add we have been to Ephesus (Turkey) which is far older, more preserve and geographically/historically much more interesting.
