Mycenae private half day trip from Athens

Mycenae, rich in gold, in half a day

Homer called it rich in gold, and the citadel of Agamemnon still earns the name. Enter through the Lion Gate, the oldest monumental sculpture in Europe still standing where it was raised, climb to the palace terraces, and step inside the vast beehive Tomb of Atreus. The site museum holds replicas of the treasures Schliemann dug from the grave circles.

A private half-day trip from Athens with hotel pick-up, comfortable for a morning or afternoon, and easily paired with lunch in nearby Nafplio if you would like to extend.
