Detailed Description
Your journey begins with a departure from Athens, driving west along a beautiful scenic coastal route toward the Peloponnese peninsula. The first stop is the famous Corinth Canal, where you can step out to admire the engineering feat of this narrow rock channel. After a short drive, you will arrive at Ancient Corinth, which stood as one of the richest cities in the ancient world. Here, you will spend time exploring the iconic sixth century BC Temple of Apollo, the bustling Ancient Agora, and the Bema, the historic location where Apostle Paul preached and was judged during his two years living in the city.
The tour then heads deeper into the countryside, winding through scenic vineyards and olive groves to reach the winemaking region of Nemea. This small village is home to forty distinct wineries and is famous in mythology as the site where Hercules killed the Nemean Lion. You will visit the top local wineries along the celebrated Nemea Wine Roads, where wine experts guide you through tastings of exceptional local Greek wines. You will learn about the native Agiorgitiko grape and the traditional production methods that define this historic wine country.
The final portion of the day balances ancient heritage with local flavors. You will visit the impressive Temple of Zeus and the Archaeological Museum of Nemea to view the artifacts and stadium tracks where the ancient Nemean Games once took place. To conclude the day, you will stop at a traditional local taverna, giving you the opportunity to taste authentic Greek recipes and regional specialties. After your meal, your driver will handle the return journey, ensuring a relaxing ride back to your accommodation in Athens.
