At first, I couldn't find much on the island of Katakolonas in my Lonely Planet, but then I found that ancient Olympia, the original site of the Olympic games was here. There's quite an expansive park to house the games, the eternal flame, and surrounding religious sites. Unfortunately, we only had an hour to explore. It's amazing how important the games were even then that they would suspend all wars during the period of the games.
