Mycenae archeological site was impressive. Our tour guide/driver, Thanos, was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He took us to a small village for lunch at a local restaurant which we really enjoyed.

Our driver, Takis, was fantastic. We felt safe and secure with Takis. He was on time, drive safely and gave us lots of information. Our tour guide was great and gave us clear and concise information regarding the Mycenaean civilization.
