Description
The archaeological site of Mycenae was the last phase of the Bronze Age in Ancient Greece, spanning the period from approximately 1600–1100 BC. It represents the first advanced and distinctively Greek civilization in mainland Greece with its palatial states, urban organization, works of art, and writing. The Acropolis of Mycenae was built at a high altitude, about 280 m above the sea, between two steep hills. It is hidden from the hills. I discovered first hand, while touring several of the archaeological sites, that the terrain is rugged and steep and not for the faint of heart. Mycenae was no exception, but from the top, the vistas are phenomenal! The second week of March ended up being the perfect time to visit Greece because crowds were low, and the wildflowers were popping out everywhere we went.
