Private 5-Hour Nafplion to Ancient Nemea & Local Winery Tour

Your private driver will meet you at the port in Nafplion for a scenic drive through the lush Argolis valley, passing Tiryns with its impressive cyclopean walls and glimpses of the ancient city of Argos.
The first stop is Ancient Nemea, one of Greece’s most important sanctuaries dedicated to Zeus and host of the Panhellenic Nemean Games. Your licensed guide will lead a private tour of the archaeological site, where you’ll explore the stadium with its intact starting blocks and the crypt, a tunnel through which athletes entered the arena as part of a symbolic purification ritual. You’ll also see the reconstructed Doric columns of the Temple of Zeus and visit the small local museum, showcasing artifacts and insights into Nemea’s rich history.
After the guided tour, enjoy some free time to wander the ruins, take photos, and soak in the historic atmosphere before meeting your driver for the next leg of the tour: a visit to a local winery. Learn about the long tradition of winemaking in Nemea, with a focus on the renowned red grape variety, Agiorgitiko, and explore the winery’s facilities. Your experience concludes with a wine tasting, sampling local varieties in a relaxed and authentic setting.
Finally, your driver will return you to Nafplion, with the option to stroll the old town before reboarding your ship.
