Ancient Epidaurus
Archaeological Site Mycenae
What To Expect
Archaeological Site Mycenae
Depart Athens with a friendly escort (archaeologist) by bus from the Halandri Metro station and reach the ancient city of Mycenae. Let the Cyclopean walls take your breath, as until nowadays no explanation can be found regarding their construction. Mycenae is considered the greatest and richest kingdom of the later Bronze Age around 1350 B.C. Even the legendary author Homer was inspired by Mycenae to compose his epic poem of Iliad. Walk around the archaeological park, pass through the great Lionesses Gate, explore the Ancient Treasure of Atreus also known as King’s Agamemnon Tomb as well as the Tomb of Clytemnestra. Admire the Palace and the Gold Mask of Agamemnon.
After Mycenae enjoy a greek traditional lunch in the beautiful seaside city of Nafplio. Naflpio used to be the capital of Greece before Athens and its architecture has venetian, byzantine, ottoman and modern greek influences. Admire the main attractions like the Castle of Bourtzi, the Acronauplia and the Castle of Palamidi built on the top of the hill as well as the various picturesque squares in the city center.

Good day beyond Athens

5.00This was a good trip, particularly because of the convenience and ease of access to three sites outside of Athens without the pain of driving. We particularly liked Mycenae and Nafplio and surrounding countryside which is beautiful. Epidaurus is interesting but not a must see in our opinion.
Highly Recommended!

5.00Highly recommended! A well-paced tour with a friendly and knowledgable guide/driver. Well-organised and (luckily) in a small group
Recommend!

5.00A lot was packed in a day but it's a great way to get a flavor of the Peloponnese. The time allotted for each activity was reasonable although would have like maybe 30 minutes more for Epidaurus. The guide and the driver both did a great job with their respective tasks. All in all, recommend this if you only have one day to visit this beautiful region.
Angelina was very upbeat...

5.00A nice day trip offering a variety of sights, with enough time at each stop and a good guide. No crowd and no waste of time (good idea to pick up and drop off at Halandri).
Excellent!

4.00Read the description; it’s exactly as it reads…at some point I thought I had read the “Archeologist” would do the last site with the group…I now can’t find where I read that so that is my fault but all in all if you don’t have your own transportation this is a great option…I fortunately did and regret not doing the sights myself since the archeologists gave very general information and I’d avoided slight pressure of making sure I boarded my family timely ect. the last stop unfortunately I didn’t get to explore as much as I wish I had.
Enjoyable trip but a little rushed

4.00This tour was good value for money but felt a little rushed around the archaeological sites (the main purpose of the trip in my view), especially given how long we spent in Nafplio and how early we got back to Athens. I was a little apprehensive about the meeting point being so far from the city centre but the metro is easy to use, if a little slow. The coach was a little cramped but otherwise comfortable and the driver and guide were pleasant. My main reason for booking this trip was to visit Mycenae and it did not disappoint. I was surprised by how much I liked Epidaurus too. The site is so much more than the famed theatre.
Amazing tour!

4.00We had an amazing time on the tour to Epidaurus and Mycenae! Everything was fantastic — we had so much fun, and the experience was incredible. Our guide was extremely attentive and knowledgeable, and the driver was very careful and made the journey feel safe and comfortable. The amount of time spent at each site was well planned, but if I could suggest one small improvement, it would be to add about 30 more minutes at the Epidaurus Theater. It takes some time to walk up and down the theater, so we didn't get to explore the museum as calmly as we would have liked. That said, this is just a minor point — overall, the tour was excellent and absolutely worth every cent. I highly recommend it!
Great Trip!
