After leaving the City our first stop will be at the Corinth Canal, which connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea.
This short 6km but Historic Canal separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland and was a project first conceived by a ruler of Ancient Corinth, and began by Roman emperor Nero, although not completed until 1893.

The centrepiece of the Nemea Archaeological Site is the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea developed at the beginning of the 6th century BC and was a Classic Doric Temple, with a number of other buildings & monuments which were used in the religious and athletic ceremonies of the ancient Nemean Games.
The Stadium can also be seen at the Archaeological site and had a length of 178m. Athletes and the judges entered the Stadium through a vaulted tunnel and the baths in particular are well preserved with the original sinks still in place.
The Nemea Archaeological Museum is located within the Archaeological site. It contains a variety of associated artifacts from the coins of ancient visitors to pottery, tools, weapons and jewellery from the Mycenaean cemetery.
