Hiking at Nemea & Wine Tasting
Activity Description
Just an hour from Athens, an autumn excursion full of history, myths, and wine awaits you!
Join us on a hike in Nemea that combines wild nature, unique monuments, and authentic flavors.
Nemea... Land of Mythology, History, and Wine
Nemea stretches between rolling hills and vineyards that seem to roll like waves across the landscape. It is a land that lives off its wine and breathes through tradition. The famous Agiorgitiko grape ripens here, in one of Greece's most important wine-producing destinations, where the wine routes take you from small family wineries to iconic estates with a long history. Beneath the surface of the vineyards lies the ancient world of myths. It was here that Hercules completed his first labor by slaying the fearsome Nemean Lion, bringing to life a place that has since been associated with strength, courage, and transcendence. A little further on, in the ancient stadium, you can still feel the breath of the athletes of the Nemean Games – a sacred institution that stood on a par with the Olympics.
Here, nature, mythology, and history do not compete; they coexist harmoniously and give Nemea that charm that makes exploration seem like a natural continuation of everyday life.
Our route
takes us to a place that combines impressive rock formations, extensive vineyards, and views of the mountains of Ziria. The route passes by cultivated slopes, climbs gently towards the so-called "Meteora of Corinth" and ends at the balcony of Panagia tou Vrahou, a truly remarkable spot.
We then head to a local winery, where we complete the experience with a tasting of the famous Agiorgitiko wine. Because Nemea is not just a myth, it is also a taste.
