The overwhelming stone lions of the Mycenae and the shimmering cyclopean walls are fascinating.
It is no coincidence that Mycenae is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece. The “UpDrone” team took a photo of the archeological site from above, and the result is impressive.
Mycenae was an ancient city in Argolida near Mount Tritos and opposite Argolic Gulf. The archeological site of Mycenae is located about 90 kilometers southwest of Athens, in the northeast of the Peloponnese.
In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was one of the greatest centers of Greek civilization, as it was a powerful military fortress that dominated most of southern Greece.
Reconstruction of Mycenae
The period of Greek history between 1600 BC and about 1100 BC is called "Mycenaean", which refers to Mycenae. At the height of their glory, in 1350 BC, the castle and the lower town had 30,000 inhabitants and an area of 32 hectares.
