What it is
Nemea was one of the four great sanctuaries of the Panhellenic games, with Olympia, Delphi and the Isthmus. The Temple of Zeus, from about 330 BC, was among the first to mix the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian orders; three columns always remained standing and others have been raised again in recent decades. Around it are the oikoi, the buildings of the cities' delegations. All in the middle of vineyards.
The museum
Next to the entrance, small, with pieces from the sanctuary and the region and the history of the excavations. Half an hour.
