The tour guide was very informative. The winery was delightful. Had an excellent lunch stop. All I have to say.
If you are a wine lover and you like picturesque places then this tour is for you! We had a full day with Ruslan in a luxury mercedes, driving around the province getting to know the Greek traditional life. We stopped at the canal of Corinth and were impressed by the view, then went to the Semeli winery and learned all about Greek wines! At the end we walked to the Palamidi castle and had a lunch in Nafplio. We love Greece !!
