If you wish, visit the Archaeological Nemea Site, where a top local event has been taking place for the last twenty-odd years: the revival of ‘Nemeia’, the sports games that used to take place in ancient Nemea since 573 BC and every two years in turns with the Olympic Games and the games in Delphi and Isthmia. The Modern Nemeia Games were revived in 1996, 2300 years later, and they take place every four years, with many athletes and spectators coming and participating from across the world.
