Reserve my entry

This is full admission to all three parts of Mycenae — the citadel with its Lion Gate, Cyclopean walls, Grave Circle A, palace ruins and underground cistern; the Archaeological Museum of Mycenae beside the hill; and the great beehive Treasury of Atreus down the road. We reserve your entry for the single date you choose and send it to your phone, so you walk straight past the ticket-office queue to the gate.

What's included

Every booking includes the elements below — handled by our concierge team before your visit and confirmed at the gate.

• The citadel of Mycenae — the Lion Gate, the Cyclopean walls, Grave Circle A, the palace ruins and the underground cistern • The Archaeological Museum of Mycenae — finds and replicas beside the citadel • The Treasury of Atreus — the beehive Tomb of Agamemnon, a short walk downhill • Dated ticket — reserved for the date you choose • 5-minute audio history sent before your visit • Booking handled in your own language

Who this is for

This is standard full admission, ideal for independent travellers who want to skip the on-the-day queue and see all three parts of Mycenae with everything handled. The standard ticket needs no passport or name. The operator sets its own reduced and free categories (for example for children and certain EU visitors), which may require ID at the gate — contact our team if you think one applies to you.

On the day

Mycenae is in the Argolid, about 90 minutes south-west of Athens by the A7 motorway, with free parking at the entrance. Show your mobile ticket at the gate and make first for the Lion Gate, Grave Circle A and the climb to the palace before the coaches arrive, then descend to the cistern if you are steady on your feet. Cool off in the shaded museum and the interior of the Treasury of Atreus during the heat of the day. It is an open, shadeless citadel, so bring a hat, sunscreen, water and a torch for the cistern, and allow about 2 to 3 hours for all three sites. The great gold treasures are in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens if you want to complete the story.
