TRAVELLING AROUND_M ycenae
IN THE KINGDOM OF AGAMEMNON
One of the most important archaeological sites in Greece, Mycenae is among
the “must visit” during your stay in Nafplio, as it is only 23 km away.
The kingdom of mythical Agamemnon is the most important and richest
palatial centre of the Late Bronze Age in Greece and one of the most popular
archaeological sites that has been included in the list of UNESCO World
Heritage Landscapes and Monuments.
Here you will see the tomb of Agamemnon (Royal tombs), the Lion Gate and
the Cyclopean walls, and you will also have the chance to see the astonishing
Treasure of Atreus.
As you approach the exit of the archaeological site, make a stop at the Archae-
ological Museum of Mycenae, which hosts a very interesting chronology of the
excavations as well as mock-ups of how the ancient city looked like.
