Corinth, Acrocorinth and Nemea Discovery

  • Meet your tour guide at the agreed-upon location and begin the tour.

  • Head to the Corinth Canal. Built in the 19th century, it cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.

  • Visit Ancient Corinth. This archaeological site will bring travellers in touch with one of the most ancient civilizations in the world, the Corinthians.

  • Head to Acrocorinth, an amazing medieval castle with a breathtaking view, ideal for memorable pictures.

  • Proceed to Ancient Nemea. According to myth, Nemea was the land where Hercules killed the famous Nemea's Lion while carrying out one of his Labors.

  • Continue to the archaeological site and museum of Nemea and see the Zeus Temple, the Ancient Baths, and the stadium where the ancient Nemean Games used to take place.

  • Enjoy leisure time at a local winery, Palivou Estate, in Nemea. Nemea was famous for its wines, and travellers will have the unique opportunity to taste different types of wine, see the grape plants in the outdoor fields, and attend a small seminar about the process by which these wines are matured.

  • Try local dishes in a traditional Greek restaurant.

  • Head back to Athens.
