Reasons to Visit

Tomb of Agamemnon & Citadel Mycenae

Mycenae was one of the greatest cities of the Mycenaean civilization, which dominated the eastern Mediterranean world from the 15th to the 12th century BC and played a vital role in the development of classical Greek culture. The archaeological site was uncovered by the German archeologist Schliemann who believed that there was a factual basis to Homer’s epics. Just further down from the citadel is the Tomb of Agamemnon (or Treasury of Atreus) which was a royal burial chamber and is attributed to Agamemnon

Acropolis of Athens

The Acropolis hill, so called the "Sacred Rock" of Athens, is the most important site of the city with four of the greatest masterpieces of classical Greek art – the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. It has the famous porch of the Caryatids on the south. It combined both Doric and Ionic columns for the first time. The Acropolis Museum houses all the portable objects removed from the site since 1834. At the foot of the Acroplis is The Theatre of Dionysus - considered to be the world's first theratre.

Ancient Agora

The Agora was the heart of ancient Athens, the focus of political, commercial, administrative and social activity, the religious and cultural centre and the seat of justice.
