Why Visit Mycenae?

Mycenae, located on the Peloponnese peninsula, is a key archaeological site in Europe, once the home of Agamemnon and the namesake of the Mycenaean period (1600 to 1200 BC). The site allows you to discover scenes from Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, beginning at the impressive Lion Gate, standing over 3 meters (9.8 feet) high, featuring a monolith with two lions. You will see the ruins of the royal Palace of Agamemnon and the Treasury of Atreus (Tomb of Agamemnon), a notable Tholos structure. Additionally, Mycenae is encircled by a great wall, traditionally attributed to the Cyclops.

This ticket also provides access to the Archaeological Museum of Mycenae, where you can explore a photographic exhibition and a collection of over 2500 objects from the Mycenaean civilisation.
