Stop 1
Step into the land of legends, vines, and flavors. Just over an hour from Athens lies Nemea, a region steeped in ancient mythology and home to Greece’s most celebrated red grape variety, Agiorgitiko.
On this immersive day tour, you’ll walk in the footsteps of Hercules, explore ancient ruins, sip world-class wines, and savor a home-style Greek feast in a vineyard overlooking the valley. It’s the perfect experience for families and friends who want to connect with the taste and beauty of the Peloponnese. -
Stop 2 · 1h
Your adventure begins at the archaeological site of ancient Nemea, where you'll discover the majestic Temple of Zeus and the original stadium where athletes once competed in the Nemean Games. We’ll provide entrance tickets and an easy-to-follow written guide with highlights of Nemea’s history and mythology. You will then explore the site on your own and you can even try your own sprint at the ancient stadium, just like the athletes did centuries ago. Afterward, we will come together again to discuss your experience, answer questions, and share the myths and stories connected to the site.
