If you in the area pop in. A quick visit, just to see the scale of the walls that was built thousands of years ago. Will not take you long to see the site.

Very interesting. The most ancient miceaenan escavation, its arcaic age is understandable from the really rough shape of its cyclopic stones.

Really great place to visit. Not as big as Mycene but just as lovely. Don't forget to visit the honey pot tomb which is a few minutes away by car.

Unlike Mycenea, Tiryns is still in its very early stages of excavation and research. So many structures that have a clarity of what it was (like in Mycenae), isn't there in Tiryns. Unlike Mycenae, most of the fortifications of Tiryns in almost in the same plane. The size of the whole fortification is monumental, but the sites are yet to be labelled and explained, of its original use.

Mighty Tiryns !!! A spectacular archaeological site of impressive proportions. The presence of antiquity here is absolutely palpable and to walk thru these incredibly impressive ruins and gargantuan stones is to step straight back into ancient myth and legend....Enjoy :)

As a big lover of Homer’s Iliad, I have visited most of the known Mycenaean sites mentioned in the catalogue of ships. Tiryns with its massive walls and remarkably well preserved architectural remains is without a doubt one of the most impressive.

It is part of very old history and unfortunately not as extensive and well preserved as Mykini (Mycenae) yet visit them both and marvel at what people are capable of and given time how destructive w can be through war and our own importance. Great pity that we always repeat the same cycle.

Archeological site from the ancient Greeks that's pretty well preserved. Only 2 euro to get in then you're free to walk around and explore, we spent about 45 minutes total. Plenty of free parking and it's only a 10 minute ride from nafplio.
