If the site of Mycenae is one of the most visited, the modern city of Mycenae is one of the least interesting of the Peloponnese! Mycenae rhymes with the family of the Atreides who had built their palace there. King Agamemnon led the coalition against Troy, was killed by his wife Clytemnestra with the help of her lover Aegisthus before being avenged by his son Orestes. The ruins are a testimony of the Mycenaean civilization at its peak as well as architectural treasures such as the Lion's Gate and Agamemnon's tomb which attract the whole world. Getting there. Mycenae is well served by bus from Nafplio and Argos (www.ktel-argolidas.gr).
