If you came to Porto Heli last weekend, then on your way from Athens you might have found yourselves really close to Nemea, where the Great Days of Nemea were being held, promoting the local wine production. The festivities were also celebrating their tenth year, ten years with wine, which haws been enjoyed in Greece since the ancient years, always at the center of attention.
The Great Days of Nemea are trying to promote wine not only in Greece but to the world itself; they are trying to show why Nemea is the most important wine producing region in Greece and the Balkans as well. The event this year included speeches, video projection from a visit by famous wine bloggers from all over the world, wine tasting, cooking recipes that include wine designed by known chefs, fairy tale narration, music concerts and of course wine bars with tasty delicacies at a very affordable price. Greece is still going through some tough times and it would be best if we remembered that local products along with the love and passion of the people for them can contribute to the situation becoming better for everyone. In any case, Nemea and the Peloponnese have great prospects in becoming attractions for the wine-tourism crowds, something that can help the whole region.
