The Journey
Corinth Canal
Witness a marvel of engineering at the Corinth Canal, a 6.4 km waterway slicing through the Isthmus of Corinth. Completed in 1893, this canal dramatically shortens sea routes, saving ships a 700-kilometer journey around the Peloponnese. Stand on one of its bridges, peering down at the narrow channel far below. Although too small for modern tankers, the canal provides a stunning visual spectacle and a poignant reminder of human ingenuity. Experience its grandeur by boat or by foot, capturing breathtaking photographs of its sheer rock walls.
Ancient Corinth
Step back in time and explore the ruins of Ancient Corinth, once a powerful and prosperous city-state of ancient Greece. Discover the remnants of the Temple of Apollo, a Doric masterpiece that stands as a testament to Corinth's former glory. Wander through the Roman Forum, imagine the bustling marketplace, and contemplate the city's pivotal role in ancient history. Feel the echoes of Paul the Apostle, who lived and preached here, as you explore the historical landscape.
Acrocorinth
Ascend to Acrocorinth, a formidable fortress perched atop a towering hill overlooking Ancient Corinth. This strategic stronghold has been used by Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, and Ottomans over centuries, each leaving their mark on its walls. Explore the ruins of temples, churches, and mosques, each whispering tales of battles and conquests. The panoramic views from the summit are simply breathtaking, offering a sweeping vista of the surrounding landscape and a unique perspective on the region's rich history.
Nemea Stadium and Archaeological Site
Journey to Nemea and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the ancient Nemean Games, a precursor to the Olympics.

Experience the thrill and passion of ancient Greek athleticism at this captivating archaeological site, where history comes to life.
Nemea Wineries
Indulge your senses in the wineries of Nemea, the heartland of Agiorgitiko, one of Greece's most celebrated red wines. Explore the sun-drenched vineyards that carpet the rolling hills, learning about the winemaking process from grape to glass. Sample the rich, fruity flavors of Agiorgitiko, often described as the 'Blood of Hercules', while enjoying the hospitality of local vintners.
