Peloponnese & Nemea Wine Tour (Full Day)
This tour explores the highlights of the Peloponnese, from ancient wonders to modern marvels. We'll visit Mycenae, one of Greece’s first great kingdoms, dating back to the second millennium BC. According to Homer, it was home to Agamemnon, leader of the Greeks in the Trojan War. You’ll see the iconic Lion Gate, the entrance to the royal palace.
Next, we head to Epidaurus to admire its 4th-century BC theatre, renowned for its incredible acoustics, where even a whisper on stage can be heard perfectly throughout the audience.
In Nafplio, we explore Palamidi Castle, a Venetian fortress famous for its 999 steps.
Our journey continues to Nemea, an ancient wine region. Here, we learn about Agiorgitiko, a 3,000-year-old grape variety, and taste wines ranging from light and fruity to bold and mature.
Finally, we’ll visit the Corinth Canal, a modern engineering feat connecting the Aegean and Ionian Seas.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Corinth Canal
As we cross the Isthmus, we stop to see the great feat of engineering that finally opened the route between the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf - the Corinth Canal. It was finished in 1893, even though the idea existed at least as far back as 602 BC!
The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus
Travel to Epidaurus and see the world-renowned Epidaurus theater. Built in the 4th century BC, it is famous for its acoustics, which are so perfect that words spoken on stage can be heard perfectly wherever you are in the audience.
Palamidi Castle
Stepping forward in history, we will see the Palamidi Castle in Nafplio, built by the Venetians and famous for supposedly having 999 steps. According to legend, there were once 1000 steps leading to the castle, but one of them was crushed by Theodoros Kolokotronis, a leader of the Greek war of independence, during celebrations for a victory against the Ottomans.
