\nExplore the remains of the Royal Palace in the ground level and enjoy the panoramic scenery of the surroundings. Visit the archeological museum at site to enjoy reproductions of the archeological findings, to learn about the Mycenae history, and to visual and understand the layout and structures of the fortress. A visit to Mycenae is highly recommended but you should consider that the remains which are still “standing” are somehow limited, and imagination plays significant role in understanding the scope of the site.<\/p>\n\n
