Hassle-free beach day - My wife and I had a great day trip to Kourata Beach while we were in Katakolon as one our cruise destinations. Why we booked — The prior day, we chose not to make similar arrangements, figured we could figure out our way to the public transportation options or a taxi, and we were wrong. We missed out on being able to see much of Mykonos, so we wanted confirmed and hassle-free transportation to/from a beach during the 8 hours we had at the spot. This price was reasonable compared to what we heard (taxis up to 80 euro each way) and included a reserved set of chairs. What was great — Easy handoff from person to person, from the cruise pier to our waiter at the beach, with Lukas right next to us as a tour guide. We always knew where we were going, where to find food/drink/etc, and felt safe knowing someone was watching our stuff while we were enjoying the ocean. Lukas was excited to share the Greek culture with us and we felt like we got a taste of Greek hospitality from a few hours together. They also knew when we wanted to get back and how to make that happen easily. I was able to extend the 4-hour tour time by an extra 3 hours too, to get a real day on the beach of 6 hours. Not 3 hours plus 30 mins transfer each way. What could improve — Not much. Communication through WhatsApp with a language barrier is always a little challenging but Lukas spoke 5 languages fluently and that provided some comfort as well, that we were being understood especially with making it back to the boat in time. It wasn’t the cheapest day but in my opinion, worth every penny to get away from the tourist traps right next to the cruise port and get the most of your time in a destination. And for the price you get ease. We were led every step to shaded/covered lounge chairs waiting for us with a cooler full of water, snorkel stuff, drink menus, etc. It could not have been easier. Well worth it.

A Unique Experience - Well the tour was unforgettable… First of all, both a private taxi and a private van transferred us from Katakolo to Kourouta Beach. Also Juan and Lukas the to assistants were professionals and willing to help as with anything we wanted. The beach was clean with “crystal” water. Not only we were offered diving masks( which were spotlessly clean) but also there were other beach activities such as Beach Volley. I am really pleasant from this impressive experience which I shared with my family and I’m looking forward for my next tour with them!!!

Beautiful family beach. - Lovely sandy beach. Very shallow and safe with plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas, plus a waiter to bring you food and drinks.

excellent service ! best rating trip with Jae Olympic tours - I recommend Jae Olympic tours for an unforgettable experience at the beautiful beach of Kourouta. I rate them excellent. The guide was very friendly and he gave us good tips and navigation . The beach is sandy, has blue flag and the water is clear turquoise. we stayed half day and we also enjoyed the sunset which was one of the best of my life.

Beautiful beach’s of Katakolon - Jae was amazing. Very punctual, beach was spectacular. Definitely planning to come back again very soon.

Katakolon Beach Excursion - Four of us contracted JAE Olympic to arrange a four hour beach excursion when our ship arrived in port. A driver was arranged to pick us up. He was easy to find and took us to a great beach area. Jae came on found us a couple hours later, introduced himself, and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a great and relaxing day at the beach and would use JAE Olympic again if we make it back to Katakolon.

Don’t spend this money. Take your own taxi! - They were late picking us up. We arrived and again had to wait for someone to show us where to go. We were told to pick any chairs. After speaking with locals we realized the chairs we were sitting in were free of charge to anyone. So basically we paid an extreme amount of money for this company to have taxi’s pick us up and return us to the ship. We could have done that ourselves for about $225 and we paid this company $750. NOT WORTH THE MONEY WE SPENT!

Wrong transportation - We scheduled a pick up for a private van but were transported in a Bus with other families. Our girls get motion sick in a bus was the reason for a private van transport. The facilities were dirty on the beach.

NO SHOW - Our driver never showed up and many locals tried calling him and he wouldn’t answer so we lost 2 hours of our day and never did make it to the beach! Very disappointing!

Overpriced - Our driver picked us up at the port and he was great. The drive was only 15 minutes. We were first onto the beach that was already set up with umbrellas and chairs. The excursion said the chairs and umbrellas are included so the cost seemed fair with the transportation. Soon after people starting coming we realized the chairs and umbrellas are free as long as you order food or drinks. I feel like we got ripped off. We only needed transportation to the beach. The beach was lovely and we would go back.
