If you plan on visiting the area toward Napflion, this is a good site to visit. This site has a unique gate as well as impressive burial chambers that are made of huge blocks and are in a "beehive" shape. There is also a nice small museum built just a few years ago. When we arrived, we asked about a... More

I came here as part of a day trip from Athens. The guide was very useful and informative. This ancient site is amazing! The tomb is made of massive stones and are stacked together to form a beehive shaped structure. This is part of a larger complex at the Mycenae site. Within the stone "beehive" tomb are real bees.

You may accidentally pass this by when leaving Mycenae, but don't. it is not part of the main site, but down the entrance road a little way. It is really a very interesting site to visit. It is so well preserved and you can walk right into the tomb. It felt a lot like going into a pyramid to me.

How special to see this burial site. Before going, it would benefit people to know some of the history. Take the time to really enjoy the wonders of this area.

Don't miss this part of the site! It's not part of the main area, so be sure to look for it. It's well worth it.

Mikines can be easily reached from Nafplio for e.g. there are few local buses (I guess three tours) from the city to the exact Mikines ruins. You can also hire a car and go there. I was single girl travelling to this place, so as you can see no problem at all to visit the place! Lions Gate is the... More

This is a must see, that people could build this at the time is extraordinary. If you want to take pictures inside you will need a good flash or form of light, but the effort is worth the time

Mere words really cannot convey how astounding the perfection of the corbelled stonework in this megalithic "tholos" tomb actually IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just down from the main site at Mycenae. The best of the beehive tombs. If you go,make sure you take time in the national archaeological museum in Athens to see the green attached column fragments that once adorned the entrance of this tomb; some are in the British Museum, but some are on the wall at the back of the...
