Then we will continue to visit one of the most famous vineries of NEMEA. Greece may well possess first place in the hierarchy of countries known for their tradition in viticulture. Not only is this due to Greeks producing wine since the Neolithic Age - 4000 B.C. - but also to the fact that wine has long been adored, praised and chanted in the name of god Dionysus.

My trip was FABULOUS! I have absolutely no complaints! Everything was the way it was supposed to be or better. We had the best tour guide in the world! I feel very fortunate to have had Maria as our guide through Greece. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, organized and made things go very smoothly.

We had an amazing trip organise par the office of mediterranean travel in march 07. I was with a groupe of teenager girls (16-17 years old) and we were playing volleyball in the region of Argos. The travel agent was able to adapt to our budget and organise a fantastic 10 days of cultural and historical mix with great leisure time. They were very informative and they delegated an extraordinary person to accompagny us during the length of our trip. Naplio and Argos are ideally located to view some of the best site that Greece has to offer. I would warmly recommend the service of the office of Mediterranean Travel to anyone.
