1. 1

   Corinth Canal

   15 min

   The Corinth Canal is one of Greece’s most striking engineering landmarks. Visitors can watch enormous ships pass through a narrow waterway cut straight through the rock, connecting the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea. The canal is 6.4 km long, only 21 meters wide, and its steep limestone walls rise up to 79 meters high — creating a dramatic visual effect. From the bridges above, you get an impressive view straight down the canal, especially when a ship is navigating the tight passage. The area also offers bungee jumping during certain seasons for thrill-seekers. Around the site, visitors can explore viewpoints, cafés, and spots perfect for photos. It’s a quick stop, but an unforgettable one, giving a glimpse of both natural beauty and bold 19th-century engineering.

   Barafakas winery

   1.5 hours

   Barafakas Winery is a family-run estate in the heart of Nemea, one of Greece’s most famous wine regions. Visitors can tour the vineyards, learn about local varieties like Agiorgitiko, and see how the wines are crafted in the modern cellar. Tastings take place in a welcoming setting with views of the surrounding hills, offering a chance to sample elegant reds, refreshing whites, and limited-production labels. It’s a relaxed stop that combines tradition, local flavor, and genuine Greek hospitality. Our estate was officially founded in 1999 by Christos Barafakas, a third-generation viticulturist. His father and grandfather were also vine growers. In addition to producing wine from their privately owned vineyards, they also made "souma" (a traditional Greek distilled spirit) from wine lees, which they purchased directly from winemakers' barrels.
