📍 Check in with Corinthia Pass

In the Asopos valley, between Nemea and Sikyon, stood Phlius — an independent city-state that held its own ground among far more powerful neighbours.

What you will see

The site preserves remains of the agora, a theatre cut into the hillside, and stretches of the fortifications and acropolis. It is not a developed visitor site with facilities, and precisely for that reason it keeps a stillness that has become rare.

Vineyards spread all around: the same valley that today feeds Nemea with Agiorgitiko was cultivated in antiquity too.

Practical notes

  • Near the modern village of Nemea.
  • Open ground with no facilities — carry water with you.
  • Combine it with Ancient Nemea and the wineries of the area.
