Mycenae is the largest and most important center of the civilization that was named "Mycenaean" after this very citadel. Mycenaean is the culture that dominated mainland Greece, the Aegean islands, and the shores of Asia Minor during the late Bronze Age era (circa 1600-1100 BCE). The Mycenaean Era occupies the tail end of the Helladic Civilization, which flourished in mainland Greece since 3000 BCE.
The tour to Mycenae is actually a tour to Ancient Classical Greece that astounds visitors with the architecture of the monuments and the findings exhibited at the museum.
Mycenae is one of our favorite destinations to include in our proposed excursions combined with a visit to nearby city of Nafplion with the famous Bourtzi island the Palamidi castle and a stopover at Nemea for a wine-tasting session in one of the wineries and the famous Nemea Ancient Stadium.
