Just outside the modern village of Aghia Triada (formerly Merbakas) there is a Byzantine church dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos. The church has many unique features and is considered a fine jewel of the Byzantine Argolid.

This modest pyramid in Argolis is the best preserved of the few visible in Greece. With its internal chamber and entrance passage, it's hard to avoid the obvious interpretation of it as a tomb. It is mentioned by the traveller and writer Pausanias (2nd century AD) as being associated with legends of some 3000 years previously. However, many modern scholars date it to merely 4th century BC.
Off the tourist trail but not hard to find. One other solitary photographer turned up just after me and we did a sort of dance round it, keeping out of each other's shots.
"Nemea (/ˈniːmiə/; Greek: Νεμέα) is an ancient site in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese, in Greece. Formerly part of the territory of Cleonae in Argolis, it is today situated in the regional unit of Corinthia. The small village of Archaia Nemea (formerly known as 'Koutsoumadi' and then 'Iraklion') is immediately southwest of the archaeological site, while the new town of Nemea lies to the west.
"Here in Greek mythology Heracles overcame the Nemean Lion of the Lady Hera, and here during Antiquity the Nemean Games were played, in three sequence, ending about 235 BCE, celebrated in the eleven Nemean odes of Pindar."

Merbaka (Greek: Μέρμπακα), but officially Agia Trias (Αγία Τρίας, "Holy Trinity"), is a village in the province of Argolis.
The modern church of the Holy Trinity, first built in 1898, was demolished and rebuilt in 1934.
Of more interest is the ancient church of the Panagias built in the twelfth century. Unfortunately, we could not enter.
As a Fleming I read that Merbaka is named after a Flemish monk for William of Moerbeke, a 13th-century Roman Catholic archbishop of Corinth. (Wikipedia).
