Video Notes: * Introduction to Excursions or Private Tours from Katakolon,
Greece: * The stop at Katakolon needs a tour for sure. There really isn’t much
to do around the port. The only reason cruise ships stop here is for Olympia.
I’m glad I got to see it because I would never fly to Athens and make the drive
out to see Olympia, so this was a nice chance to see the things I read about in
history books growing up. I highly recommend a private tour company vs. any
tours that you can book on the ship. Having your own private car and personal
attention, especially on a short day like this one, was key. Sights: The first
thing we did was see the archaeological museum. It would have cost an extra 130
euros if we wanted her to go in with us and explain everything we see. I didn’t
go to the olympic museum because we didn’t have enough time. Our tour guide told
us that it was pretty boring because it’s basically just a rectangular ruin.
Hermes and the infant dionysus, by Praxiteles: this statue was discovered to be
in very good condition in 1877. This statute is famous for being incredibly
polished. Hermes is carrying the child dionysus to the nymphs who were charged
with his rearing. The arm is missing, but they think he could be holding out a
bunch of grapes for the child. Nike of Paionios: This is an ancient statue of
the Greek goddess of victory named Nike. It was originally on a pillar near the
tempe of Zeus. This statue was installed to honor the recapture of Sphacteria
from the Spartans in 425 BC. This is a statue of the greek goddness of victory
which shows her gently landing on her left foot. This is where the brand "Nike"
got its name. The west pediment of the temple of zeus: this shows a big battle
between centaurs and ancient Greeks. This was built around 460 BCE and it has 42
figures in total. It's crazy to see how well preserved it was and how emotional
some of the figures are. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was one of the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World. It was a giant Zeus sculpture on a giant wooden
throne with gold, ivory, precious stones and ebony. Sadly it was destroyed over
time, possibly by fire or looting. The second part of the museum was a big open
land where some of the ruins still stand. I can’t believe they allow you to walk
into the ruins and touch them. We didn’t spend that much time here because it
started pouring. Palaistra: This was part of an ancient gym, and helped to train
some of the wrestlers and other athletes. Philippeion: was erected by Philip II,
King of Macedonia after the victory of Chaeroneia in 338 BCE. Originally there
were 18 Ionic columns and inside were gold and ivory statues of Philip's family.
