Archaeological Site Mycenae

Start your day the smart way and enjoy a more comfortable, well-paced small-group experience, beginning at our central meeting point at Platia Karaiskaki. Let the Cyclopean walls take your breath, as until nowadays no explanation can be found regarding their construction. Mycenae is considered the greatest and richest kingdom of the later Bronze Age around 1350 B.C. Even the legendary author Homer was inspired by Mycenae to compose his epic poem of Iliad. Walk around the archaeological park, pass through the great Lionesses Gate, explore the Ancient Treasure of Atreus also known as King’s Agamemnon Tomb as well as the Tomb of Clytemnestra. Admire the Palace and the Gold Mask of Agamemnon.
