Why visit Mycenae?

Walk through the Lion Gate, the monumental entrance of the Bronze Age citadel of Mycenae, and ascend the ramparts to reach the Palace of Agamemnon, where the legendary ruler once commanded the Aegean. Marvel at the Cyclopean Walls, massive limestone blocks assembled without mortar that still stand after three millennia, guarding the summit of this Argolic ridge. Just down the slope, step inside the Treasury of Atreus, a breathtaking beehive-shaped tholos tomb boasting the largest lintel stone in the ancient world.

Beyond the acropolis walls, explore the Grave Circle A and Grave Circle B, the royal burial sites where Heinrich Schliemann excavated the golden Mask of Agamemnon. Conclude your journey in the modern village of Mykines over a plate of traditional gida stovisi, a hearty regional goat stew simmered with tomatoes and spices, paired with a glass of crisp Agiorgitiko wine from nearby Nemea.
