DEPAS of Mycenae Reviews

Bronze Age capital of Greece. Impressive Cyclopean walls and Lion Gate. The acropolis is perched on a hill - it dominates the lsndscape.

Even if one is not a fan of old stones, which is my case, visiting. And place can not be left indifferent. The lioness gate is remarkably preserved.

Amazing location ..... and strategy of importance (they knew where they were building) !!!!!!!!

An extraordinary archaeological site with great history. The only negative is access, which when it has many visitors, almost always, it is difficult to reach and of course park.

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.

Very particular site, unique in its kind, tombs full of finds, source still fed, suggestive of the entrance

Only 6 euro entry for the museum and the antik site. A must if you are interested in history.

Archaeological site interesting for its unique architectural particularities and for the presence of a small but well-equipped museum rich in some of the most famous artifacts of antiquity.

Shocking space!
a UNESCO World Heritage site, but unfortunately a monument of state abandonment and indifference, despite its high traffic.

Everything is impressive the rocks, the landscape, the strength of the place

You have to have imagination to be able to imagine this city. Except for the lion gate, which is already well preserved + very imposing, it is not that easy. Some "buildings" are quite easy to imagine - others less so. The way up is easy to reach - but there are some inclines. Panoramic view from above - when the sun isn't going down + you can't see anything. The group was allowed in completely; stop as usual with a mask.

Wounderfull but a audio guide and a map would be appreciated

It is worth visiting this place but with a guide. You can learn more from the guide.

It was rainy when I went on a school trip, however it was still great fun to learn about the site and what used to be a structured village

History, art, architecture, religion, politics ..., ancient Greece. Cool.

A stunning site which is also quite historically important. If you can, come during Spring or Autumn - a Summer visit had me soaked in sweat at 9am. Still worth it.

This is an amazing archeological site about 45 minutes outside of Athens. Was built roughly 1500 BC, headed by King Agamemnon. A very large site on rolling hills, a must see with the accompanying museum.

This is one of the most famous places in mythology. From here began the Trojan War.

Lots of the $ 12 for what I saw. That's worth the museum. It could be much better. At least it was clean.

Quite a hike but an amazing view at the top of the surrounding fields and olive orchards. The lion gate is the main attraction and a perfect photo op. Be careful as the paths are slippery and the hike up is steep - wear the appropriate footwear and bring water. There's an area where you can walk down a seemingly endless set of stone steps underground - I'd skip it as there's literally nothing at the end and it's dark, claustrophobic, filled with spiders, and enirely unlit. Not sure why people go down there or why it's even allowed - there's nothing to explain what it is either.

Mythical city that is worth visiting and reading the various posters of the tour. You are going by their structures and design of the city.

The final part with the water system is admirable.

Large parking area to leave the car.

The place of king Agamemnon, Helen the wife of Menelaus was stolen from Paris the son of the king of Troy, Agamemnon commanded the United Greek armed forces in the war against Troy.

The main center of the Mycenaean civilization that dominated the eastern Mediterranean before the rise of the ancient Greek cities. The place is not well preserved and in the summer it is quite hot as there are not many shadows but it is worth a visit. There are many interesting things in the adjoining museum. With the tickets for this place can also be visited at the Archeological Museum and Atreus Treasure in the vicinity, which is also very interesting.

Archaeological site that is worth a visit especially due to the enormous amount of remains, when you reach the top of the village (royal palace) there is always a lot of wind, I highly recommend the tomb of Agamemnon.

Ancient city with giant stones installed according to the legend by cyclops

One of the most important monuments, awesome location

Worth a visit in the city
Ancient - 2000 BC

... again history to touch. That gets under your skin...

An interesting, almost fascinating place where time stopped in place.

Legendary place. Breathtaking location. My colleagues and students were blown away by it.

The most important and most interesting place in Greece!

Hard for Ama.
Good information

We had a guide and the information received was very interesting but the site and plans extraordinary views

A cult place for those who are interested in the era of the Trojan War and the Mycenaean era of Hellas. These ruins are more than 3.5 thousand years old.

I loved it. Amazing to be visiting this place. The hike around the complex is nice and very enjoyable. The surrounding views and landscapes are spectacular. The museum is small but very informative.
Be aware that there is no shade so it will be hot on a sunny day.
If you read about the history of the place ahead of your visit you will really see how special is the place!

I really liked the Museum!
But also the archeological site ...
Definitely worth it with the above to visit the place and wander ...

We have just rented a car this morning to visit the Mycene site from Athens. It is noted that the site closes at 6 p.m. on the Google page. We arrive at 3 p.m. and ... we are turned back in a rather unpleasant way because the closure would be at 3 p.m. (see photo attached).
Very disapointed !!! Fake hours of opening / Very bad reception!

Cradle of greece civilization (or one of them). Lions gate, cyclop's wall....more than 3000 years old...must see for everybody interested in history of our civilisation, good place to think about ourselves and our own future... Good infrastructure for turists.

Unexpected location, suggestive of an old and mythological past.

It's the center of the beginning of civilised European culture, for right or for wrong if you went to school in the west and you paid attention, it all begins in this place.

It's nothing special. I expected better organization and exposure.

Little to see. Very ancient ruins. Attention to the great heat in the central hours of the day

Wonderful day trip with Go Tour recommended by our Hotel Hermes. Thanks Stalos(not sure of his spelling) Went to many places under this tour. Lunch stop could use a little less salt. Do use this Day tour.

Beautiful historic place. With a nice museum on site. Admission is not expensive. Take water with you in the summer!

Mythical door to the lionesses of Mycenae, a village from the Mycenaean period to visit

5 * for what Mycenae is for history. 5 * for the small museum, but rich in documents.
2 * for the pouring of concrete on part of the sites of the site. They could have installed wooden and aluminum piers in order to observe the archaeological site "in its natural state"
4 stars is the average.

Must .One of the places one should see, when visiting Greece and you have an extra day to leave Athens. You should take tour guide in order to understand the history of the place ( since 1300bc) and to explain the significance of it through out the centuries. You should try it on a more cloudy day, since you will be under the sun for the most of the tour.

Very nice Mycenaean site to see absolutely if you are in the area and have not already done so.

A tourist place you should definitely visit during your trip to Nafplio.
At least 3 hours to enjoy it

For enthusiasts and historically prepared fans. For ordinary visitors, I definitely recommend Nafplio and Mistra.

Like Greek mythology, like the history of the past. The lion door is very beautiful.

The site is great, even beautiful. At the height of Unesco.

Strong points:
Like many places in Greece, incredible view a few minutes from Nafplion / Tolo.
Well maintained and fun site to visit.

Weak points:
More expensive than the average.

This is definitely a must.
