This is a “different” food and culture tour away from the usual touristy “stuff”. Ideal tour for those looking to visit some amazing sites at an authentic “Greek” location facing the gorge of Mainalon range. For up to 8 (related only) people but we can do bigger groups too.
1] Corinth Canal
Corinth Canal. The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus (canal) of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.
2] Nemea Wine Tasting Area
We stop and pick up our wine from one of the many wineries of Nemea; the Greek Napa Valley.
3] Arcadia Mountain villages

We climb up the Arcadia mountain range of Mainalon with its famous European hiking trails to visit the stonebuilt villages such as Dimitsana, Stemnitsa, Laggadia, and more hidden spots.
4] The Food Experience; the highlight of the tour

Baked feta

Eudaimonia reserves the right to change or cancel your booking in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. Should change and/or cancellation prove necessary we will give you reasonable notice thereof, in the circumstances, & where available, offer you a comparable alternative.
