There isn't only sunshine in Greece. Nevertheless we had a great trip from the northern coast through the mountains to Neméa, where an interesting archeological site has a well preserved stadium.

At the beach of our Camping Stop |
We had spent a night at a Camper Stop (38.223791, 22.146995) where we had our washing done by the owners and a special vegetarian dinner prepared too. A really nice place with a beautiful beach.
In the afternoon we left with direction to Neméa and finally Mykene, driving up into the mountains until we reached 1000m altitude again. The scenery was great but the grey clouds got darker and darker and finally we decided we had to stop for the night. Thanks to Park4night we soon found a lovely spot.

Finally we reached Archéa Neméa, where the archeological site had a museum, remains of a Temple of Zeus and the stadium with the passage for the participants completely intact.
