Ancient Corinth and Nemea wine roads

We’ll start the tour from Athens by driving via the coastal highway to Peloponnese. The first stop of the tour to Corinth is the famous Canal of Corinth which connects the Ionian sea with the Aegean sea through the Isthmus, and joins Peloponnese to the Greek mainland. We will make a stop here about 20 minutes to look at the canal from the bridge and if we are lucky we might see a ship going through the isthmus. After the Canal we will continue our interesting tour to reach our main destination, the Ancient Corinth.

In Ancient Corinth you will see the temple of Apollo (the God of Oracles and the Sun) 540BC, the Theater, the Roman Odeon and the Glauke fountain, the museum, the Vima (step) from where St. Paul preached to the Corinthians in 52 A.D. and finally the Lechaion street.

Afterwards, we’ll take the new high way driving to Nemea a very famous region from the Greek mythology. Here Hercules did one of his twelve labours killing the lion and the Nemean Games took place. You admire farms with olive trees and vineyards. At this point, we will visit the Best Local Wineries and you will have the opportunity to taste some exceptional Greek Wines. After our visit to the Wineries, we will visit the Temple of Zeus and the Archaeological Museum of Nemea and the ancient stadium of the Nemean games. Then you can enjoy your lunch in a local tavern.
