We took a day trip to Mycenae.

The archaeological site of Mycenae comprises the fortified acropolis and surrounding funerary and habitation sites. Most of the visible monuments date from 1350 to 1200 BC.

We stopped into the little museum first.

We were so excited we go to wander all over the ruins and explore.

The Lion’s Gate is still magnificent, even headless.

We even walked down into a cistern. We used our phones as flashlights.

The tombs of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon are enormous.

Adult tickets are €8 and kids are FREE!
Ticket is valid for the Archaeological Site, the Museum, and the Treasure of Atreus.

The Treasure of Atreus is across the street. We just walked, but there is no sidewalk. There is a little trailer with ice cold water that’s super affordable.
