We start from Athens and drive for about an hour along the beautiful seaside highway to Corinth. The Isthmus of Corinth is a narrow strip of land that connects Central Greece with the Peloponnese , while the canal that has been opened in it connects the Saronic Gulf with the Gulf of Corinth . It is about 6 kilometers long and the narrowest point is where the Corinth Canal was built (1880-1893). It was a strategic point and for this reason a wall had already been built since ancient times (end of the 5th century BC), which had been preserved until the Byzantines ( Hexamilion ).

Ancient NemeaThe wine-growing region of Nemea is one of the largest and most important PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) zones in Greece, stretching from the Argolis and Corinthia, with the main variety being Agiorgitiko. Seventeen villages define the zone and compose a unique area for wine, with different altitudes, type of soil and microclimate. As part of our wine experience programs, which are designed and led by expert oenologists, visitors have the opportunity to taste a fine selection of older and more recent vintages at our cellar or tasting hall. Includes tastings of four signature wines and a variety of cheese that showcase the two celebrated PDO regions of the Peloponnese, or highlight the blending of indigenous and locally grown international varieties. The tour is about 60 minutes long and costs 15€-19€/per person. May include other guests.
- Corinth was a city-state (polis) on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta. The modern city of Corinth is located approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northeast of the ancient ruins. Since 1896, systematic archaeological investigations of the Corinth Excavations by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens have revealed large parts of the ancient city, and recent excavations conducted by the Greek Ministry of Culture have brought to light important new facets of antiquity.
