★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very well preserved considering the age - 13 c bc. The ticket from Mycene is valid here also. Not demanding site, you need 10 min max.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Treasure of Atreus, tomb of Atreus or tomb of Agamemnon is a tholos located on the hill of Panagitsa, just outside Mycenae, and built during the Bronze Age, around 1250 BC, is a funerary monument with a circular ground plan of reference. It is the most monumental surviving vaulted tomb in Greece. The lintel stone over the door weighs 120 tons, the largest in the world. Mentioned by Pausanias, it was still visible in 1879 when the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the shaft tombs under the "agora" on the Acropolis at Mycenae. It is well worth a visit, as is the entire site.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of the many impressive constructions that can be found in the area. Currently, the ticket prices are 12€ for adults and half for children. Keep your ticket because it applies for both archaeological sites (the tomb and the acropolis).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Only one structure but just a massive feat to see how the designed and built this centuries ago. Included with your entrance to the larger archeological site so why not stop. When you get to the opening and look up it makes you pause and realize the engineering marvel this was.
