Acrocorinthos

Ancient Corinth was an important city-state in ancient Peloponnese. The city controlled the crucial position of the Isthmus and served as the most significant commercial hub in the ancient world.

Corinth Canal

The Corinth Canal is a landmark of our country, which every visitor should admire. Constructed between 1880 and 1893, replacing the ancient Diolkos, which facilitated the passage of ships between the Saronic Gulf and the Corinthian Gulf and vice versa. The canal has a length of 6,346 meters, a width at the sea surface of 24.6 meters, and a depth ranging from 7.50 to 8 meters. Approximately 12,000 ships use it every year to avoid circumnavigating the Peloponnese.

Nemea

The name of Nemea is inseparably connected with history, mythology, and wine – three elements that over the centuries have been integral parts of this place. An important structure in the area is the Temple of Zeus. According to myth, Hercules, the son of Zeus, established a sacred temple in honor of his father after slaying the Nemean lion. Since then, the Nemean Games were also established, becoming one of the most significant athletic competitions in Ancient Greece. Ultimately, a divine gift to this region is wine. The mythology narrates that when the god Dionysus revealed the secret of winemaking to Oeneas and encouraged him to multiply the vineyards in the world, he specifically asked him to pay attention to the valley of Nemea. Consequently, today in Nemea, some of the most important grape varieties are cultivated, including Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and others.
