We'll be taking a cruise this May and will be stopping in Katakolon, Greece. I'm looking for transportation only (no tour) to see Olympia. We'd prefer some not to rent a car, take a cab or ride the train since its iffy if it will be running in May. Is there some sort of reliable private bus company that does transportation only from the port to Olympia? I was looking at Katakolon-Express (http://www.katakolon-express.com/) but it looks like they're either out of business or are so unreliable that I don't want to risk it.

Are you worried that the link isn't working? I got a 404 error message when clicking on your link, but then tried typing in http://www.katakolon-express.com myself and it worked for me. I don't understand, though, because they both look the same.
Heimdall, let me clarify regarding the reliability. The site works fine, but there have been a few reviews out there where the company doesn't respond to calls or emails and even a few of buses not showing up. Other reviews have stated that they had no issues with the company.
Yes, I read some mixed reviews on Cruise Critic, which may be where you saw them too. If you don't get the help you need here on Fodor's, suggest you start a new thread on Cruise Critic.
Hello Fodor's,
Not only is katakolon-express.com alive they are expanding rapidly. Most recently updating their website to 'responsive' meaning it will display correctly on all devices.
On the contact page they say that if you don't receive a reply within 24 hours then the email address you entered was incorrect!
@ Heindall
Your link in post #1 is http://www.katakolon-express.com/) it has the right bracket which shows a "not found" page on their website you can still navigate from there though.
See you in Katakolon maybe,
Best
Hi Katakolon,
It was CooperMurphy's post that had the right bracket, and mine that showed the correct link. I'm glad to hear that Katakolon Express is alive and well!
Ooops sorry Heindall of course you're correct.
