What to expect
Start your day the smart way and enjoy a more comfortable, well-paced small-group experience, beginning at our eco-friendly meeting point at Halandri Metro Station. Just 18 minutes from central Athens by metro, it’s the ideal launch point to avoid city traffic and hotel pick-up delays. In just 10 minutes, the bus joins the highway—giving you a head start over other tours. You’ll arrive first at rest stops, first at the destination, and even skip the lines for tickets. With more time to explore and less time on the road, your day trip becomes more relaxed, more enjoyable, and more sustainable.
Depart Athens with your friendly guide (archaeologist) by bus from the Halandri Metro station and reach the ancient city of Mycenae. Let the Cyclopean walls take your breath, and learn about the mysterious origins of this fantastic structure.
Mycenae is considered the greatest and richest kingdom of the later Bronze Age around 1350 B.C.
Walk around the archaeological park, pass through the great Lionesses Gate, explore the Ancient Treasure of Atreus also known as King’s Agamemnon Tomb as well as the Tomb of Clytemnestra. Admire the Palace and the Gold Mask of Agamemnon.
