Mycenae

Mycenae is an ancient Greek archaeological site located in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese peninsula. It was once a center of power and cultural influence in the ancient Mycenaean civilization.

The major attractions in Mycenae include the Lion Gate and the walls surrounding the citadel, the impressive Treasury of Atreus or Tomb of Agamemnon, and the remains of the Mycenaean palace.

The best time to visit Mycenae is during the low season, which is from November to March. During this time, there are fewer crowds and the weather is cooler. However, be aware that some of the sites may have limited hours or be closed during the low season.

Mycenae is located about 90 km southwest of Athens. The easiest way to get to Mycenae is by car, which takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Alternatively, there are buses that depart from Athens to Mycenae several times a day. Another option is to take a guided tour that includes transportation from Athens.

While it is not necessary to have a guide to visit Mycenae, it is highly recommended to get the most out of your visit. A guide can provide you with detailed information about the history and significance of the site, allowing you to better appreciate and understand what you are seeing.
