Wine Tasting Private Day Experience with Lunch, Ancient Corinth - Ancient Nemea

Destaques

Inclui

Itinerário

1. The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.

   15 min

2. Ancient Corinth was inhabited in the Neolithic period (6500-3250 BC) but the big prosperity begins in the 8th century. Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus (canal) of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta.

   45 min

3. Wine-tasting visit to one of the many wineries in the region of the tour. The Nemea area of the Peloponnese is the most famous wine region of Greece. Approximate pricing at 13-20 EUR/person for a tasting of 5 labels.

   1 h

4. Lunch in the Nemea area which is considered as the Greek Napa Valley.

   1 h

5. Positioted 31km southwest of Corinth, Ancient Nemea was once the venue for the biennial Nemean Games, held in honour of Zeus. Three original columns of the imposing 4th-century-BC Doric Temple of Zeus survive, and the on-site museum displays rich finds from the area. The stadium where the Games were held is nearby; once connected to the sanctuary by a sacred road, it plays host to the resurrected Games.

   1 h

6. OPTIONAL: Acrocorinth, "Upper Corinth", the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth and the Corinth gulf. It is the most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece. With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was repeatedly used as a last line of defense in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry by land into the Peloponnese peninsula.

About Atenas

Atenas ergue a Acrópole sobre uma moderna capital extensa, onde ruínas antigas, ruelas nas encostas e longas noites de taberna convivem lado a lado.

O Pártenon coroa a Acrópole, ladeado pelo Erecteion e pelo seu pórtico das cariátides, e o Museu da Acrópole, ao sopé da colina, expõe as esculturas encontradas no rochedo. Em redor, a Ágora antiga, o Templo de Zeus Olímpico, o Arco de Adriano e o estádio Panatenaico de mármore tornam fácil percorrer a pé a cidade clássica.
