What To Expect
The route begins in Athens and crosses the Corinth Canal, passing through the Gulf of Corinth to arrive at Mycenae. Here travelers will be able to relive the expedition to Troy at Mycenae and admire the kingdom of Agamemnon.
Mycenae is an archaeological site near Mykines in Argolis, it is located about 120 kilometres (75 miles) south-west of Athens, 11 kilometres (7 miles) north of Argos and 48 kilometres (30 miles) south of Corinth. The site is 19 kilometres (12 miles) inland from the Saronic Gulf and built upon a hill rising 900 feet (274 metres) above sea level.
In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades and parts of southwest Anatolia. The period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae. At its peak in 1350 BC, the citadel and lower town had a population of 30,000 and an area of 32 hectares.
