- Green…Theatre
Close to the ancient sites of Mycenae and the vineyards of the rich in culture and legacy Nemea, lies a modern construction which fits the picture perfectly being the first "Green Theatre."
Its construction started four years ago and the theatre was inaugurated this June. The theatre is scheduled to host a number of well known Greek performers during its "Green Theatre Festival" (until September 12).
- Lift the "Spirit" in Nemea
The nearby city of Nemea is known in Greek mythology as the home of the Nemean Lion, which was killed by the hero Hercules, and the Nemean Games, one of the four Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece.
The site is also famous for its blessed soil, as Nemea is considered the most important Controlled designation of origin (AOC) region in southern Greece for the production of red wines.
