Nemea
A beautiful land of soft hills with endless vineyards and great wines.The 'California Napa Valley' of the Peloponnese is a popular day trip from Athens for every lover of antiquity. It is here where Hercules completed his first of 12 labours slaying the Nemean lion.Fewer places in Greece combine ancient Greek temples with what feels a lot like the Napa Valley of California. Nemea should be on the itinerary of every traveler to the Peloponnese.The Temple of Zeus / Jupiter: Dating around the 4th century BC, the center piece of the Macedonian building program was the temple of Nemean Zeus. Three columns of which have always stood since the time of the original construction are captivating . Zeus in Nemea is the god of shepherds reflecting the remarkable valley.

The Ancient Stadium Crypt: Over 36 m. in length and for the most part in very good condition it is the entrance tunnel that makes the Nemean games unique. It is the passage through the tunnel, clad in chiton and with bare feet that effects the transformation of the participant from a modern to an ancient. The tunnel thus plays the critical role in the accomplishment of our goal to provide an opportunity for anyone and everyone to become an ancient Greek athlete. It is here we see ancient athletes names engraved on the walls together with dedications to the goddess of Victory, ΝΊΚΗ NIKE. The stadium track and starting grid characterized by toe grooves cut into the stone block.
