A dominant city of Greece between 1600 and 1200 BC and home to King Agamemnon who directed the forces to attack Troy in order to rescue Helen, this site has Cyclopian walls composed of huge stones weighing thousands of pounds. The entrance has the famous Lion Gate where two lions are in a triangle above the lintel. The lintel is estimated to weigh 18 tons and the exterior walls are thought to be up to 20 feet thick with and composed of up to 14,000 boulders. With excavations revealing graves and funeral objects, there is even a small museum. Very interesting site.

great experience

Our guide made this tour a fascinating adventure into the history of the western world. You can literally walk into the history of of this ancient land and follow the stone and marble paths that the ancients walked in Delphi, Epidaurus, Olympia, and Mycenae while your guide provides context from ancient to classical to modern history.
The monasteries at Meteora are an example of the more modern, maybe 14th century, and a delight in themselves. This whole area is a geological and historical wonder and the caves were inhabited some 50,000 years ago.
The guide was extremely engaging and considerate of everyone in our group and managed to spare us from entanglement with crowds or other larger groups at each of these sites. An earlier reviewer noted that the hotel stops are all at the Amalia chain hotels which are just ok and, with the exception of Delphi, are all located too far from town to allow for any exploration by foot. But the days are fairly long, dinner is always at 8 and you may be ready for bed by the time you finish up. Hope so, cause there's not much else to do.

I started my trip to Greece with this tour and that worked well for me, gave me a lot of historical context and introduced me to the country under the gentle guidance of our tour guide. A few more highlights included a trip to lovely coastal village of Nafplio, a stop at the dramatic Corinthian Channel and a bit of shopping on our way out of Olympia. This tour is really highly recommended.

Nice Route

I really enjoyed the route through the Country. Each stop and site unique for their own little reason and so connected with history and heritage. It was excellent

“Remarkable and super accessible”

The ancient city of Mycenae includes the Treasury of Atreus, Lions Gate, expansive ruins of the ancient complex, and a small but well designed museum. We found it breathtaking - and I'm not much into history but you can't help but appreciate this old city and what happened here. The entrance to the city includes a steep incline and is very rocky, so wear sturdy shoes.
