Start your epic tour by hopping in a comfortable vehicle along the Corinth Canal Highway for a scenic drive from Piraeus to the picturesque Corinth Canal, a narrow canal that reaches 26 feet deep and connects the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf. You'll enjoy a 15 minute stop to take photos of the breathtaking views from this famous canal and then continue your tour to the archaeological site of Nemea, a settlement that was dedicated to the Greek god Zeus that dates back to the Neolithic era. Once at Nemea, you'll spend 90 minutes exploring this excavation site with stops to admire the architectural excellence of its bathhouses, shrines, and its small museum. Take time to enjoy its beautiful sites and grab your camera to take photos of its iconic relics of Ancient Greece, including the Temple of the Nemean Zeus and the Stadium, a spectator stadium that sat up to 50,000 people and hosted the bi-annual Nemean Games.

Next, take a scenic 30-minute drive to a local winery and spent 50 minutes here as you whet your palate with local red wines for the perfect ending to your excursion before returning to Piraeus. The viniculture in Nemea dates back to the fifth century B.C., and this historic site boasts 40-plus wineries in the area. Nemea also produces Greece's largest varieties of red wines, including the most common grape varieties of St. George and Agiorgitiko, which are known as "the gold of the Peloponnese."

With stops at iconic attractions like Nemea's archaeological site and the chance to sample award-winning Nemean red wines, this excursion offers much to see and do.
