On day 4 we stopped at Katakolon in Greece. This is the gateway port to visit the famous Olympia ruins. (The famous birthplace of the Olympic Games.) 🇬🇷🏛️🎖️
We decided that we would get off the ship, but just to “potter” (who remembers that post 😂 afew weeks back ?) in Katakolon itself .
What a pretty place .. once a quiet Greek fishing village it now hosts cruise-ships & our friendly taverna owner told us that between the end of August & the end of October he was expecting around 35 ships 😳😳😳
We were the only ship ‘in’ on our day; and as most people had gone off to Olympia… we had the place ‘relatively’ to ourselves 🩵
We enjoyed a lovely quiet lunch overlooking the harbour…how nice just to relax, without any schedule !
Spent time talking to the taverna owner.. who instigated giving us a Greek lesson… 🤓
…sadly I haven’t done too well with the lesson …and can only remember one word which is ‘thank you ..’ and since I did not see it written down …
