If you ever find yourselves at Argolida and Porto Heli, then it is necessary for you to take a day trip to one of the most impressive archeological sites in Greece, Mycenae. Today it can be found near the village of the same name in the interior of the region and mountain Tritos, away from the wonderful coast that attracts thousands of tourists every year. A visit there, however, will bring you close to the beginnings of Greek history, as it is apparently related to the Mycenaean civilization, when we first start having information on the people, their habits, their language. Mycenae is connected to the family of Atreides, among whom best known is Agamemnon, the leader of the Greeks during the Trojan Wars. The epic poems of Homer and the ancient tragedies have placed the adventures of this family firmly within the Greek soul. One of the findings in the Mycenae, that was discovered by Heinrich Schliemann himself, a golden mask, was believed to belong to Agamemnon himself. The palace of Mycenae was erected, according to archeologists, around 1350 BC, even though the myth says that it was Perseus himself who founded it. During those times, they were probably the most important commercial center in Greece and their influence extended to the Mediterranean. It is definitely no accident that one of the first Greek civilizations flourished in Argolida. Peloponnese Hotels – AKS Porto Heli
