DEPAS of Mycenae Reviews

Wonderful place immersed in the Greek hinterland. During the visit we find ourselves in close contact with history. A mandatory stop!

Impressive site. The stone paths are slippery though, so wear a good pair of shoes.

Site located on the mountainside which offers a beautiful view of the valley

Fantastic! It takes you awe when you look at these tremendous constructions !!

Very interesting archaeological site. Price: 12 Euro (ticket without discount). Definitely worth seeing. It is a whole ancient city whose streets you can stroll through, not just a pile of stones like many in Greece. It is worth taking a supply of water and sun protection - there are not many places with shade. You don't need any special condition, but walking in full sun uphill can get tired. The views from the hill are beautiful, it's worth reaching the top.

World Heritage Site in the heart of the Peloponnese

If someone is interested in history, it is a miracle.

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.

There are few local shields, so visitors are advised to take good sun protection measures!

Mycenae (Ancient Greek: , Modern Greek: ) is an Aegean civilization ruins on the plain of Argos, northeast of the Peloponnesian peninsula, Greece. It was the epic legend of Homer, the capital of the Achaeans, built by Perseus and ruled by Agamemnon during the Trojan War.

This city, once thought to be a fictional city, was re-excavated by German archeologist Heinrich Schlimann in the nineteenth century to regain its sight.

In fact, in the second millennium BC, it was indeed the most important city in Greek civilization. It ruled a large area in the south of the Aegean Sea. The civilization it represented was called the Mycenae civilization.

Prior to the classical Greek period, the city had been damaged by the (possibly) Dorian invasion. Its palace was abandoned in the 12th century BC. The Argosian army occupied the place in 468 BC and expelled its residents. Mycenae The city has since been destroyed.

In the classical period, the traveler Pausanias visited the site and records monuments such as the Lion Gate that still stand today.

UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.

Beautiful archaeological site with a beautiful museum

Beautiful site! Very well maintained with explanatory panels.

Great, a lot to see, too bad, that there is no combination tickets for everything together, but worth seeing.

Absolutely beautiful view with a rich history of the ancient Mycenae empire.

This archaeological site is very well preserved showing how this civilization that preceded the Greeks themselves developed

Really worth a visit. The burial chamber is quite something and makes up for everything else. Very cool. Considering that this was built thousands of years ago makes everything else look like "amateur hour".

Serene and Peaceful place to be on a Winter morning.

A beautiful place ... But clearly lacking in indications to clearly imagine and immerse yourself in the place ... a shame!

A truly stunning site, must visit both for its historical significance but also it's location with far reaching views.

Wonderful ruins and museum, definetly worth visiting. Local guide strongly recommended. A walking stick may be useful for some people, as not all passages have safety railings, which, together with marble floor and humidity, may result in a sprained ankle.

Interesting place, with two areas, one the citadel itself and the emblematic lion gate and another 500 meters away with the tomb of atreos.
A small museum introduces you to the Mycenaean culture.
They do not accept discounts with a university or teacher card.

Also very interesting site, was the last point of the ride I did. Highlight the tomb of Agamemnon it is myth means, what the guide told when I was there. It was a good conclusion of my trip into Greek

Recommended place. Also worth seeing is the Esculapio amphitheater

I find it UNACCEPTABLE that there is no place to get a bottle of water. They could put in a vending machine.

Superb well-preserved archaeological site. Inputs for a fee

Cyclops walls older than 3,000 years old, door lizards, evidence of the existence of an old civilized civilization - fascinating

The Greeks really do not provide insurance with regard to such an important site. 3 sites apprehended on the same place, 2 easy to approach the 3rd untraceable.

This is a gorgeous site. You have the opportunity to walk through the site, which gives you a sense of what it must have been like centuries ago. Unlike other sites, such as the Parthenon, this site is not only older, but much more accessible. Don't forget to visit the tombs as well.

Lion's Gate is a must-see architectural monument for everyone. There are many reasons and grounds for this, if there are people who do not know them, then you should accept, as an axiom, look and think. Plus a well-made modern museum with ramps and, alas, a broken wheelchair for people with disabilities. Don't miss the "Treasury of Atreus"

Beautiful site. One of the most beautiful and evocative of the Peloponnese. Agamemnon's tomb is one of the most exciting tombs I remember

Very informative. First, I have about the entrance fee of 12,00 p.P. wondered. But it was also the museum included and against a pledge (ID) also an audio guide.

The archeological site of Mycenae is open, correct the schedule

Agamemnon's tomb, the Lion Gate and the Cyclops walls are the tourist attractions of this place. There is also a museum with a golden death mask of Agamemnon.

The ruins are amazing, especially if you are aware that most of them are over thirty centuries old!

Excavation site. Basic ruins. View of the city from top is nice.

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

Ticket price for the excavation - 12 .
The views here are beautiful.

Majestic and wonderful place. Full of history. Totally recommendable

On the way to Nafplion we stopped in Mycenae, to honor the memory of Agamenon :) But in this place there are only ruins and two impressive mountains. I liked Nafplion more ...
