DEPAS of Mycenae Reviews

The museum is small but contains magnificent objects, the magnificent ruins, the impressive enclave, a fortified city like few others.

Beautifully landscaped paths between the ruins. Beautiful hysterical site.

A very important archeological site. Not as visually impressive as many others you might visit, but its age is why. There were also many school groups there when I visited, so you have to deal with that. If you have the time, stop there - if you're tight on time, it's not a terrible loss if you've been to the other major sites. The museum is good, however.

A fantastic archaeological site. I have always seen the cyclopean walls, the tholos tombs and above all the lion gate in books. Live is a whole other emotion. Well maintained site and helpful staff. The entrance ticket for adults 12 , free up to 18 years, includes the site, the museum and The Treasure of Atreus which is outside the area.

What to say about our ancient ... They are really nice and well preserved ... When you see them, the memories from the school and all that they see in the history books are awakening. The price for the Greeks is quite expensive. It is good to have some better honor to us so that we can enjoy our History.

A must for everyone even remotely interested in the Bronze Era and the rich history of Greece.
Great vibes in the air throughout the sites. Agamemnon's grave is gigantically spectacular.

Key archaeological testimony of Ancient Greece. Essential for people who love history and archeology.

What is fascinating in this place is the fact that there the Greek myths and history known from the Iliad and Odyssey become almost real. Visiting the place is like looking into the rooms of Helena, Menelaus, and Agamemnon. Well preserved, for their age, devoid of crowds known from Athens. Beautiful views. I would recommend.

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

Another piece of untouched antiquity of Greece. Very impressive. The museum is on site.

Mycenae is an ancient city located in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese. One of the mythical kings of Mycenae was Agamemnon. In one of the photos I show the alleged grave of this ruler. The so-called tomb of Agamemnon is also called the treasury of Atreus (and the tomb of Clytemnestra). Very interesting in Mycenae are the Mycenaean fortresses located on the hills. Interesting objects can be included
The Lion Gate in Mycenae (photo attached). There are wonderful mountain views from the Mycenaean hills.

Lovely site with good museum, definitely worth the trip

I had been listening to his name all my life, watching documentaries that commented on his privileged position, his views of the fertile valley, the structure of its walls ... The house of Agamenon, pupil of Zeus ... But seeing it really ... By all the gods, when I saw it, a chill flooded me from the depths of my soul and for a moment, only for a brief period of time, that citadel took on new life and I watched haughtily. Well? ... You will ask. Yes. I stood up, smiled and exclaimed ... For you, my lady, one hundred masses are made short.

Great to visit the remains of the Mycenaean period in the Peloponnese, Greece

Dusky tombs are one of the most impressive things I've ever seen

Huge excavations where the archaeological museum is worth visiting. Some of the exhibits, including the mask of Agamemnon, were transferred to the Archaeological Museum of Athens.

The ancient city, the biggest attractions are the Lion Gate and Agamemnon's Tomb.

It is worth visiting these ancient ruins, they are well preserved. Here is the tomb of Clitemnestra.

"Beautiful" by Greece took some photos and specific ... some stones that needed a few euros to see, and so ...

A very good archaeological site - World Heritage Site.

Remarkable and suggestive complex. To visit in the late afternoon due to the exhibition

Very good guide, puts you in the climate and makes the tour of the archaeological site pleasant and interesting

Beafutil place, nice view, defenetly worth to check out !!

Archaeological site really impressive, all very clean and in order, well usable, splendid panorama, to visit

An amazing archeological place to visit and to admire ancient Greek's architecture!

One of the most beautiful excavations I have ever seen

A wonderful space that travels you back in time and creates a sense of admiration for the people who lived and created in both intelligent and at the same time tasteful way.
The visit to the heart of spring has added to the experience wonderful colors and aromas of nature!

Very nice excursion destination can only be recommended

It is one of the oldest cities in the world, it is worth the visit

Mycenae is the city rich in gold of the Homeric poems

Fascinating place, so mysterious and filled with the spirit of civilization that came before

fantastic site leave early enough to make it to the amphitheater before it closes at 3pm. about an hour drive on narrow rough roads that are not clearly marked.

Not a huge site but very impressive considering how old this place is. The underground cisterns can be fun exploration. Take a flash light or your phone with the function. Don't miss out the treasury for a quick stop on the way.

Incredible and essential site. To visit at the beginning or end of the day in summer because it is very hot.

One of the most impressive archaeological sites I have been able to see

Very hot. It is worth a little "rest" in the museum. Entrance to the grave of Agamennon is also good here.

Mycenae archeological site is definitely a must visit.

One of the archaeological sites concerning the most ancient part of Greek history.
Arriving early in the morning you can thoroughly enjoy the visit, which includes the gate of the lions and the tomb of Agamemnon, as well as the urban layout and the view over the Argolis. It may happen to be accompanied throughout the visit by semi-dandelion dogs as guides.

If you are in the area go and have a walk in this ancient city! It is worth it the time!

Wonderful, long way to go better get there early to avoid the buses. The grave a little lower is part of the visit

Nicely preserved place with circular tombs, remains of the temple and the famous Lion Gate. Mostly it is a place full of tourists, but early in the morning or before closing sights.

The archeological site is amazing and it is really worth spending a lot of time to see it but it is really sad that it does not have the necessary staff to keep all the facilities clean.

Superb archaeological site protected by UNESCO. The ruins of Mycenae include the grandiose fortifications called cyclopean walls (which reach 6-8 m in thickness), in which the monumental north-west passage opens the famous Porta dei Leoni.
Beyond the Porta dei Leoni on the right is the Granaio building in use until the destruction of the acropolis. Immediately after the Barn stands the Funeral Club A with 6 royal tombs, from which various objects were found such as: gold masks, bronze swords with gold and ivory handles, daggers decorated in gold, vases and gold jewelery transferred to mostly at the archaeological museum of Athens.
In addition to the ruins of the Royal Palace, the funerary remains are extraordinary, such as the tomb of Agamemnon, the tomb of Clytemnestra, and that of Egisto.
The tomb of Agamemnon also called the treasure of Atreus is located a short distance away and represents a site in its own right. Remarkable the unique museum among the many that I visited in Greece where they have available (among other things free) a reader with headphones to have in-depth explanations regarding the finds.

I loved, I finally got to see the door of the lions seen and reviewed all of the history books and art history. Like many other Greek archaeological sites, in the end it is a mass of stones distributed with a certain sense, but a little something has remained standing here and among the various sites to visit in Greece this I recommend.

Beautiful feeling of experience and excellent organization

a really fascinating place full of well preserved ruins. the country itself has little to offer ... a few restaurants and a couple of souvenir shops.

Greek city on the Peloponnese Peninsula founded in the middle of the 2nd millennium BC - a center of Mycenaean culture. Currently, the ruins of the acropolis, palace and tombs, where found, among others the famous golden mask of Agamemnon

Visit this historical site after much time and I felt small on the top of this hill. King Agamemnon must felt excited, watching the valley and what he made...
Partially accessible for wheelchair.

Beautiful, it is not a very big site you visit in an hour or so and then it is worth going to the museum is included in the ticket 12 for adults, going away from Mycenae to the right there is an incredibly large tomb too ' included in the ticket, avoid the hot hours

From a distance who would have known the difference, between the city Mykene and one of the other mountains nearby. You have to go and see the Treasury of Atreus, but start here and end with the Tomb.
Price for both places is 8 EUR.
It's one of top 10 sights in Greece so come early or late afternoon.

Enjoyed walking thru the ruins at your own leisure. Worth the trip if you enjoy history

Fantastic archaeological site, really worth seeing.
