Not sure if they are on strike all the time -it certainly worked perfectly for us. At the worst if they did go on strike when you are in Olympia it would only be a case of taking one of the numerous taxis back to Katakolon.

When we traveled we had trains back from Olympia at both 13.00 and 14.00 -just check with the guard on the train when you get to Olympia what the times are for that day.

We were in Katakalon a couple of weeks ago on a HAL cruise and took the train which is only a short walk from the ship. The charge was 10 euros return for an adult and 5 for a child. First train left at 9.00 am with several options to return from Olympia.

I would highly recomend this option as the train is air conditioned and relatively new.
