Isthmus of Corinth
Nemea in Corinthia stands as the premier wine region. It was here that the ancient Greeks mastered grape-harvesting and wine-making, producing the world’s first wine. The same grape variety, known as “Agiorgitiko,” continues to yield red wine today.

- Isthmus of Corinth - The journey begins in Athens, with a scenic drive of about an hour along the coastal highway to Corinth. The Isthmus of Corinth is a slender land bridge linking Central Greece to the Peloponnese. The canal carved through it connects the Saronic Gulf with the Gulf of Corinth. Spanning approximately 6 kilometers, its narrowest section is where the Corinth Canal was constructed (1880-1893). Historically strategic, a wall was erected here in ancient times (end of the 5th century BC) and remained until the Byzantine era (Hexamilion).
- Ancient Nemea - Nemea is a prominent wine-producing region in Greece, recognized as one of the largest and most significant PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) zones. It extends from Argolis to Corinthia, with Agiorgitiko as the primary grape variety. Seventeen villages define this zone, creating a unique wine area with varying altitudes, soil types, and microclimates. Our wine experience programs, curated by expert oenologists, offer visitors the chance to sample a selection of both older and newer vintages in our cellar or tasting hall. The experience includes tastings of four signature wines paired with a variety of cheeses, showcasing the two renowned PDO regions of the Peloponnese or highlighting blends of indigenous and locally grown international varieties. The tour lasts about 60 minutes and costs between 15€-19€ per person. Other guests may join the tour.
- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Corinth was a city-state (polis) situated on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow land strip connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece, approximately midway between Athens and Sparta. The modern city of Corinth is located about 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) northeast of the ancient ruins. Since 1896, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens has conducted systematic archaeological excavations, uncovering significant portions of the ancient city. Recent excavations by the Greek Ministry of Culture have revealed important new aspects of antiquity.
- Archaeological Museum of Corinth - Situated within the archaeological site of ancient Korinthos, the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth was constructed in 1932 by the American School of Classical Studies, which conducted excavations in the area. The renovated museum introduces visitors to one of the most significant ancient Greek cities. It showcases prehistoric collections, finds from the Asklepieion, and artifacts from the Geometric period to the Byzantine era. The Twin Kouroi from ancient Tenea, a remarkable example of archaic sculpture, has recently been added to the exhibition.
- Temple of Apollo - The Temple of Apollo is an ancient structure built with 40 monolithic Doric columns, of which only seven remain over the ruins of the ancient marketplace. The original temple, dating from the early 7th to early 6th centuries BC, was constructed of stone, bricks, and wooden beams, featuring a heavy and intricate four-pitched roof made of clay tiles. It was likely a simple structure without external columns, yet it held significance in other respects.

A day trip worth going for. - Me and my wife were greeted by Mr. Andreas, who is a phenomenal driver. We were impressed how he gave us so many insights through our entire journey, be it regarding nemea or greece overall. He went over and above and made pitstops at other iconic locations which were on the way to nemea.
