DEPAS of Mycenae Reviews

Very beautiful and historical place close to Athens!

Little but interesting place, sometimes the wind is to much strong

Great site. Interesting to see the location choices of ancient Greeks.
Make sure to visit Agamemnon tomb near the ancient city of Mycenae.
Also visit the modern museum next to the ancient city entrance.

Amazing Unesco world heritage site. Its of enormous cultural value, well preserved and presented. Do it in a day with the Temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus nearby (both should take 2-3 hours each).

Great sight of ancient plant
Duration of stay: 1 - 2h
6 EUR entry
Free parking.
Good circuit that leads through the complex including signage. The description of the areas could be more detailed. The museum provides free and very detailed audio guides (only for the museum) against an ID card.

Excellent archaeological site that still has a lot to discover you have to take time to explore everything
The door of the lions wonderful
The museum very beautiful and careful
With some pieces uncas and well restored
Very friendly staff

Better sign up for an excursion with explanations. They are interesting stories about this site

Impressive
I advise you to visit

Unique specimen of the culture of 3000 BC, when others (ie Saxons) "served" after 1000 AD !!!!!!!

Unique experience. I highly recommend it to Greeks, as 99% were foreigners ...

A place that will rather delight enthusiasts of ancient Greece.

Awesome building.
Please note that the admission fee for the viewing is also valid for the Agamemnon Palace, which is 50 m away.

It is one of the most important archeological destinations not only in Greece, but all over the world. Its museum is amazing, with great exhibits. The greatness of our ancestors is inconceivable and invaluable. Those who have not visited it really lose.

Impressive seeing all this ancient history around you!!! Even better if you have a guide though.

Visiting Mycenae is a journey through time until you get to experience the everyday moments of a very important population. I absolutely recommend

One of the best archaeological sites in Greece in the Peloponnese region.

It's hard to enjoy the remains of the ruins, thankfully the views from the hill are beautiful.

Is a tourist trap! There are loads of tourists with cars, 12 entrance fee for 1 hour, longer you do not need. The place itself is not a good rest but a huge pig around the car park. Waste will not be disposed of! The fragrance note is short; insecure and shitty! But a dog ban on the plant!
Price performance is not the least!

Reception at the zero counter. Be careful if you are students in France, they do not accept student cards from certain schools (apparently private). The person was not kind enough to let us speak! Disappointed with this deplorable reception.

It is worth visiting if you are in the area. I was impressed by the huge walls that are built with huge Monoliths. Impressive view when I climbed the Acropolis. Do not miss to visit the archeological museum as well as the tomb of Agamemnon located a little further down.

It's mostly of how old it is, but it's amazing to see pieces of such as old civilization

It is definitely a must see turrist attraction in Peloponnesos. You would enjoy it for sure

This was a very busy site, particularly popular with coaches. We were most keen to see the Tholos tombs and started with the two outside the walls of the acropolis, the tombs of Clytemnestra and Aegisthus. Aegisthus was open to the sky and Clytemnestra was bigger and the dome had been restored and was complete. Our voices sounded strange, as if we were using a microphone with a reverberation as we talked in the Tholos and, as we had the tomb to ourselves, we could laugh as we made noises. The entrance passage the dromos is built with huge blocks and is over 30 m long and the Tholos is over 10 m in diameter. These are monumental structures and are very impressive. We followed the crowds upwards and through the Lion Gate and walked around the site with French, Italian and far eastern languages all around us. Around Mycenae the hills are covered in scrub and olive groves and the city is in an attractive setting. The acropolis was walled and these walls are to a large part still intact and this gives a good sense of what the city would have been like. We walked down the road to the Tholos tomb known as the Treasury of Atreus. This is the largest Tholos tomb with an impressive 5.5 m high gateway in to the tholos and a tholos that is 14.5 m in diameter and 13 m high. The tholos is corbelled, the courses of stone beautifully overlapping. Light poured through the massive doorway in to the dark cavernous and atmospheric space, despite the other visitors.

An archaeological site outside the Athens classics. It is worth visiting

A mythical place. The Lion Gate is like another world.

One of the oldest site in the humanity history. 5000 years...

We went at 7pm and caught the last hour before closing which was just enough time to visit the small museum and see tour the whole site (another 30 minutes would have been perfect). The light at this time of day was absolutely beautiful. The site is well laid out with explanatory posts along the way and a clear and easy pathway laid out to guide you around. Great views from the site over the plains that run down to the port of Nafplion.

Read the myths around King Agamemnon to appreciate all the splendor and spiritual energy of this millennial city

awe and emotion in front of such monuments of humanity. as a student I didn't pay to get in, but it's definitely worth it.

Incredible when you think you are walking on ground over 7,000 years old. Awesome place.

Everything is organized here perfectly. There are information signs everywhere, so it is not difficult to travel along the route. At the same time, I advise you to read the information about the Mycenaean culture (period) first before the trip - it will be much more interesting to consider! Admission for preschool and school children is free. For adults - 12 euros. It is better to go to the toilet at the entrance, because the route is long and there are no toilets.

The myth of Mycenae and the Porta dei Leoni for a sparse archaeological context ...

Prehellenistc culture. The fortress seems like pre-Columbian buildings

Very nice walk on the site with very nice views. Take the time to please the eyes, and it is pleasant because it is well appointed.

Beautiful excavation site, unfortunately only the foundation to see, entrance fee of 12, - too high for the small tour and the museum, should be connected with a visit to Nafplio or similar

Must see. So much of Hellenic history revolves around the Mycenian civilisation. The site is well presented with good explanations at key places without detracting from the ambience, well, except for a metal ramp that didn't fit in with the stonework. The entry ticket gets you access to on site museum and Treasury of Atreus 500m down the road before the main site.

Unique place in the world. Bring water because if it's sunny there is no escape ...

A very good archaeological site - World Heritage Site.

Beautiful visit exciting place for European Union students is free for the other 12

A nice walk from the bus stop (taken from Athens) that left us at nearby Fixti. The two towns are 3 km away, on the way they are uphill. There are no shuttles, but taxis, which with a handful of euros accompany you on.
It is worth visiting and taking a walk to enjoy the beautiful countryside surrounding the hill

The walk from the entrance to the top is enchanting. And the view is incredible. I would recommend wearing sports or mountaineering because the stones on the ground slipped a lot ..

The door of the lions is undoubtedly one of the wonders of ancient Greece. If you are in the Peloponnese it is worth a stop.

Were with a guided tour. I liked everything - a view of the sea, steps to the water storage, gates.

This place fascinated me most in Greece. I bowed with humility to this civilization.

Stunning for the landscape and the archaeological value of the place.

Absolutely to visit! Don't miss to go down down the tunnel!

History history. Everybody understands more about Europe after visiting such places

History breathes in this place that resists man's invasion. Enchanted....

Had I not visited Delphi, this would have rated 5 stars. As a fortress it would have been virtually impregnable. Some of the ruins have lost definition but the cistern is well worth a visit. Helpful if you have a good torch with you. The burial tombs are spectacular too. Being the seat of the Mycean culture it is worth visiting if, like me, you studied the Iliad and the Odyssey. Not an easy site to visit unless you have a car or ona bus trip. Good free car park. Wonderful museum that displays artifacts in a logical, timeline manner. Museum rates nearly as high as Delphi.

Interesting building and beautifully situated. It is a pity that the treasures excavated here are in Athens.

For me, the most interesting is the grave of Agamemnon and the lion's gate. The rest is a cluster of many stones, You have to have a good imagination :) Fortunately, off-season, the ticket costs 6 euros. You can pay by credit card.

It's perfect. You can also see from above the view of Nafplio and one of the most beautiful archaeological sites I have visited. Well done.
