Mycenae-Ancient Nemea-Wine tasting from Nafplio

Discover Mycenae and Nemea, walk through history, and enjoy a wine tasting in the vineyards of Argolida—a day full of Greek myth, culture, and flavor.
Start your journey from beautiful Nafplio, a city full of grandeur and historical aura, and get ready to discover two of the most important destinations of the Peloponnese: Mycenae and Ancient Nemea. An experience that combines culture, nature, and tasting, ideal for those who want to get to know the authentic Greece through the eyes of its history and people.

First stop, the imposing Mycenae, the mythical city of Agamemnon, the "golden" state that inspired Homer. As you approach the impressive Lion Gate, you'll feel the power and grandeur of a civilization that has endured for thousands of years. Walk the paths once crossed by kings and heroes, admire the cyclopean walls and discover the royal tombs, where the Mycenaeans buried their dead with golden treasures. The place exudes an energy that takes you back in time to the era of epics, gods, and legends.

Then, the route takes you to Ancient Nemea, a place where history and nature magically meet. Nemea was one of the most important sites of the Panhellenic Games, dedicated to Zeus. Here you'll see the impressive Temple of Zeus, one of the best-preserved of antiquity, and walk the ancient stadium, where athletes competed for glory and honor. The atmosphere of the place exudes calm and awe, with the hills and the endless vineyards that embrace the area in the background.

And as history gives way to taste, the excursion culminates in a unique wine tasting experience in the heart of Nemea. Here, at a local winery, you'll get to know the world of Greek wine and the famous Agiorgitiko variety, which has been cultivated exclusively in the area for centuries. A wine expert will guide you through the production areas, reveal the stages of winemaking, and introduce you to the secrets of tasting. You'll try different varieties of wines, from fresh to aged, accompanied by local delicacies such as cheeses and olive oil. Each glass tells a story of the land, the sun, and the people who keep tradition alive.

As the day draws to a close, your return to Nafplio will be filled with images, aromas, and memories. You've walked in the footsteps of kings, felt the pulse of ancient games, and tasted the wine born from the same soils that gave birth to myths. A day full of history, culture, and authentic experiences that will stay with you long after you return.

This excursion isn't just a sightseeing tour, but a journey to the roots of the Greek soul where myth meets the present and wine tells the story of the land's past.
