Coming from Athens, Corinthia is the first prefecture you come
to in the Peloponnese, the first sign of warmth and excitement.
The aromas of the sea, the mountains, the harvest of grapes and
currants are all encompassing, accompanied by the sound of bees
buzzing around the sheds where the currants are drying. Here
you’ll rediscover some old Greek myths, learn that Nemean wine
is called “Herakles blood” and that retsina is the teardrop of a
certain wood nymph. You’ll find out about gods, nereids and
mortals. Zeus and Apollo.
You’ll come
upon columns, sanctuaries and ancient palaces.
