Tour Overview
Begin Your Journey at the Corinth Canal
Start your day trip from Athens to the Peloponnese with a visit to the legendary Corinth Canal, a true engineering marvel of the 19th century. This narrow waterway, carved through solid rock, connects the Aegean Sea to the Ionian Sea, effectively separating mainland Greece from the Peloponnese peninsula.
Stretching over 6 kilometers long and rising nearly 80 meters high, the canal offers awe-inspiring views, ideal for photos and a moment of reflection at the gateway to southern Greece. This is the perfect beginning to your Corinth Canal day trip.
Explore Ancient Nemea
Continue your journey to Ancient Nemea, a destination rich in mythology and historical significance. Discover the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and walk the grounds of the ancient stadium, which once hosted the Nemean Games, second in importance only to the Olympics in ancient Greek tradition. This stop blends archaeology and culture in the most authentic way.
Nemea Wine Country Experience
As the tour moves deeper into the heart of wine country, you will experience a premium wine tasting in Nemea, the most celebrated wine region in Greece. With a winemaking tradition that dates back to antiquity, Nemea offers the perfect climate for cultivating native grape varieties such as Agiorgitiko.
You will visit one of the area’s renowned wineries and enjoy an exclusive tasting session, paired with local stories and insights from the people who lovingly work the land. This is a must-do for any Nemea wine tour.
Traditional Lunch and the Village of Kapsia
