A small town in Greece.
Just really a main street with lots of touristy shops. Like so many of the ports on this cruise, it was only a berth to allow folk to be bussed to more interesting places. Today’s buses were going to Olympia. We weren’t on those buses, we made the mistake of going on a wee train. Forty five minutes waiting for the driver to drum up enough custom to make it worth his while driving us round a few miles up hill and back down again. If you ever get the chance to pre-book a ticket on one of these tours, walk away. All the folk on our train wished they had. But there were highlights in Katakolo too and here are some of them.
Things we’ll remember:
- That wee train and the 45min wait.
- The red parasols of crew from the posh Viking ship next door.
- Greek salad for lunch in a quayside cafe.
- Gyros.
- Lines of olive trees.
- Just how dry the landscape was.
- View looking out from the harbour.
