About this activity
Discover world-famous ancient sites, but also explore and enjoy -not just tasting- authentic Greek cuisine.

Cross over the Corinth canal to visit the Mythical Peloponnese region; the most important, historical and beautiful region of Greece.

Visit first Ancient Corinth. For Christians, Corinth is well-known from the two letters of Saint Paul in the New Testament, First and Second Corinthians. Corinth is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as part of the Paul the Apostle's missionary travels. Ancient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC.

Driving deeper towards the center of the Peloponnese we arrive at the Nemea area. The most famous wine area in Greece, ready to wine taste white, red but rose wines too!

Next is lunch at the same area of Nemea with some dishes that even Greeks can't find easily. Authentic Greek food for foodies!

We shall also visit the ancient Nemea site famous for the Nemean Games and of course one of the most venerable myths of ancient Greece; that of the first labor of Herakles, the slaying of the Nemean Lion. The skin of this beast was impenetrable, and Herakles was forced to wrestle and finally strangle him. Using the lion’s own claws, he removed the skin and then wore it as a coat of armor.

An experience away from the crowds with your private driver/tour leader to make the day a unique one!
