Absolutely loved our trip
Stopping at the Corinth canal was a good chance to stretch our legs en route to our first stop.
The ruins at Mycenae had some stunning views, and we were amazed at how big the complex at Epidaurus was.
Since we were there during the off season Nafplio wasn't bustling, but we still had a great lunch at Arapakos.
And of course our driver, Giorgos, was a total sweetheart. He adjusted plans a bit to help us get photos from the best locations!

Very good tour.
Katarina was a good guide providing information on the Corinth Canal, and Mycenae and Epidaurus archaeological sights, along the way to each site. She also gave us an informative walking tour of Nafplion where we had an hour on our own.

Enjoyed this!
We really enjoyed this experience, learning about ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Epidarius, and more. Our guide was great (Notis) and seemed to know a lot about the area and the history. It was an full yet rewarding day!

Brilliant historical day out!!
The trip was very well organised, with a great guide, Alex, who gave us enough information but didn't go into too much depth as some guides have done on other trips. All three sites were excellent and well worth the visit plus they were easily accessible, even for someone with a walking stick. We had enough time to explore on our own and get a meal too.

Good experience, the VR...
Good experience, the VR adds a cool element of visualization and allows you to explore at your own pace instead of everyone following the guide in a big group which I liked

A special day away from Athens
Our guide Katarina was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and I learned so much throughout the day. Was taking lots of notes while also taking in the sites and locations. Great stops planned, amazing experiences. I don't have one complaint at all. It was fantastic and I highly recommend everyone experience this tour.

Fabulous!
Julia was a delightful tour guide! The general experience was expertly managed from stop to stop and gave us great insight into each location. The tour guides for the specific locations, Natalie and Happy, were so informative and really made you put the artifacts you are seeing into context. Julia ensured we had great context going in to each site with wonderful recommendations. I'd highly recommend this tour. Our driver was great as well. Worth the money 100%.

Busy tour !
Very full day that felt a bit rushed as tours usually do but you do see a lot . I had prepurchased park tickets and forgot and bought again at entrance before tour guide got to me and then unable to get a refund...perhaps the tour guide should hand them out before getting off the bus , its easy to forget when you book several tours at once in advance.

The bonus of Traveling in January
A day long trip with stops at significant stops. Our driver, Spiros, was super. In late January, it seemed as if we had these historic locations all to ourselves

How to get there
When to visit
- Covering around 80 acres (32 hectares) and home to a population of roughly 30,000 at the height of its power, the spectacular Mycenae ruins are a must for archaeology and history buffs.
- There’s a lot of ground to cover outdoors, so dress for the weather and choose comfortable shoes.
- If traveling with kids, visit with a family-friendly guide who knows how to make the site engaging for everyone. The model of the ancient city located just outside the museum is helpful for younger travelers to get their bearings.
- Some areas of the site are accessible to wheelchairs, while the museum is fully accessible.
People Also Ask
How much time do you need to visit Mycenae?
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.
What is Mycenae famous for?
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.
Why visit Mycenae?
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.
What is the cost of admission to Mycenae, and are there any discounts available?
Admission to Mycenae depends on what time of year you are visiting. Adult tickets start at €6 for visits between November–March and from €12 for the rest of the year. Free admission is available for children under 5, EU citizens under 25, and visitors with a disability and their companions.
Can I visit Mycenae independently, or is a guided tour recommended?
Yes, you can visit Mycenae independently if that is how you prefer sightseeing. Information is provided around the archaeological site and at the museum for your benefit. The advantage of taking a guided tour is that you can ask your guide questions, visit multiple attractions in one day, and don’t have to worry about how to get there.
Is there parking available at Mycenae?
Yes, there is a free parking lot just outside the ticket office at Mycenae, but it isn’t very large and can quickly fill up with tour buses. People usually just park along the road when the parking lot is full. There is also a small parking lot outside the Treasury of Atreus.
