Nemea (Greek.
Νεμέα, ἡ) is an ancient site near the head of the valley of the River
Elissos in the northeastern part of the
Peloponnese, in
Greece. Formerly part of the territory of
Cleonae in
Argolis, it is today part of the
prefecture of
Corinthia. The small village of
Ancient Nemea (formerly known as "Iraklion") is immediately southwest of the archaeological site, while the new town of
Nemea lies to the west.
