Nemea

A wildfire that broke out in a mountainous area in Corinthia prefecture could be headed to a residential area, a regional governor has said.

The fire, which started earlier near the village of Stimaga, is blazing in an inaccessible ravine, Dimitris Ptochos said.

Firefighters on Sunday were fighting to control a big blaze at a landfill in Corinthia in the northern Peloponnese that was being fed by the large quantities of flammable material at the dump.

The landfill is in a remote area on the outskirts of the town of Nemea, west of the famous archaeological site of the same name.

Greece's culture ministry says two intact chamber tombs dating from 1400 to 1200 B.C. have been unearthed near the southern town of Nemea at a site already known for its cluster of tombs, most of which had been looted before their discovery.

Drenched in history, culture, green landscapes and crystal clear beaches, the all-time favourite city of Nafplion has just been voted as the best city in Greece according to Culture Trip, an online media start-up with nearly nine million monthly readers, and global offices in London, New York, and Tel Aviv.

The Society for the Revival of the Nemean Games aims to establish and run a unique school of sports, a School of Ancient Greek Athletics.

This school will accept students of all ages and from all over the world and will teach them the practice and philosophy of sports in ancient Greece.
