Awaiting Your Return From Shore

  Katakolon is a port admired for its beautiful beaches. Equally important, Katakolon is the gateway to Olympia. The ancient venue of the Olympic Games is thought to have been established originally as a local funerary celebration.
  The first historical reference to the games can be found in 776 B.C., when a treaty between kings Iphitos of Elis and Lykourgos of Sparta provided for an Olympic truce during the summer games. From this date on, lists were kept of the winners in the foot race around the stadium, which took place every four years. The winners received a branch from the sacred olive tree as well as material rewards. After their heyday in the 5th century, the games gradually declined and were banned by the Emperor Theodosius. After an existence of more than a thoUSAnd years the games came to an end in 393 A.D.
  The site of ancient Olympia is situated at the foot of the wooded Mount Kronos in an area of gentle hills; excavations began in 1875 and are considered one of archaeology’s great achievements. Today, visitors to Olympia are overwhelmed by the impact of the ancient remains and their significance. The site’s most important excavations include numerous monuments, such as the Temple of Zeus in the Sacred Precinct, the Treasuries and the Stadium.
