What are people saying about Mycenae

Nice day trip
There is a lot for one day trip. I liked the sites at Epidaurus and Mycenae but there wasn't enough time to do anything at Nafplio. Launch there was very average as well. Our guide was a knowledgeable and nice lady. And the main downside of the trip was the coach. Seat wasn't comfortable for me as I have a bad back.

Fascinating tour
There were too many extraordinary places to choose only one. Olympia was fantastic. So was Mycenae and Epidaurus. Meteora was, literally, breathtaking

Our guide Despina was superb. Very knowledgeable and gave us a perfect amount of information. Superb trip. Each location was paced well. Our guide at Epidaurus and Mycenae was professional, clear and interacted well with our group. Highly recommend this trip and especially our guide and driver. A long day made relaxing and memorable

Q:How much time do you need to visit Mycenae?
A:Most visitors find that spending 1–1.5 hours at Mycenae is enough time to visit the archaeological site and its museum. This is also how long most day trips from Athens allow for sightseeing during the stop at Mycenae, so you shouldn’t feel rushed if you do visit on a tour.
Q:What is Mycenae famous for?
A:Mycenae is famous as it was once one of the largest and most influential cities in ancient Greece and the home to King Agamemnon, who led the fight in the Trojan War. The city’s influence was so significant that historians refer to a whole period of history as the Mycenaean period, with the city defining the culture of that era.
Q:Why visit Mycenae?
A:Tourists visit Mycenae today as ruins of this ancient hilltop city are still standing, allowing visitors to picture what it must have once been like. Visitors can also learn about the history of Mycenae at its museum and see artifacts, including an item believed to be the death mask of Agamemnon.
Q:What is the cost of admission to Mycenae, and are there any discounts available?
