I dream of the day that I can island-hop around Greece. There are so many fun places to discover. It's crazy to think that these places have been around for thousands of years, and yet Tiryns is still in the "early" phases of excavation. To think about what wonders they might unearth is so exciting! I love that the Greek government is taking the steps to rebuilding and renovating historical sites like these!

I love historical sites and I would surely be thrilled to see the ruins of a 4000-y old building. Greece has so much to offer and UNESCO sites like Mecenae and Tiryns should not be missed at all. I will make sure to introduce these in my Greece itinerary.

I have only been to Greece once, and it is a country that still fascinates me from afar. It oozes so much history and looks like an awesome place to explore with your children. I may have to consider a trip there with my own daughter one day.

Have always been fascinated by Greek mythology and history. Waiting for the day when we set our feet in Greece. Mycenae and Tiryns are both such interesting places which give a better understanding of the ancient history of the region. Also really off beat places far removed from the normal tourist circuit of Athens, Mykonos, etc.. This is something we will be making a note of to include in our itinerary whenever we get into Greece.

Really enjoyed learning more about Mycenae and Tiryins, not least the note that "Greek civilization" is more accurately several civilizations of different eras, and of course, various sites are associated with one or other of those. The ruins of Mycenae are amazing, looks like not very crowded either. Tiryns also well worth visiting, though looks like it might be more effort for those of us with any mobility issues!

I have a keen interest in ancient civilizations, be it our very own Dholavira or Mykines. It would be intriguing to visit the site museum. It is a good idea to restore these ancient buildings. Just the figure ‘4000 years old’ gave me goosebumps! Being a backpacker, I am happy to see that public transport is available here!

OMG! This is my dream travel destination or experience (whatever you want to call it.) I have been fascinated with Greek civilization and history and this would be really awesome to see all of these artifacts up close. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. I enjoyed reading your blog.

When people talk only about beaches in Greece, I wonder why not more. This was different and interesting. Ancient Greeks and their mythology has always been very intriguing. I was in Bahrain last month and there also the burials were similar because the Dilmuns also believed in life after death and buried the dead with their belongings.
It is good to see you traveling with your kiddo. Good to know about the public transport. Makes things simpler.

Mycenae with so much historical and cultural significance would be a lovely place to visit as I am really interested in Homer's work. The region looks really scenic and I am sure that sunset photos would be really gorgeous. Good to see that your daughter is learning so much while traveling.

I love visiting destinations which such an interesting historical background! You really looked in depth and I think it's great you took your child along for the ride!

Greece has always been on top of my bucket list and I've always been dreaming of going there for a vacation. I've always been fascinated by Greek mythology. Can't wait to have my own Greece vacation soon

I read a truckload of historical fiction, and I'm fascinated by Greek history (particularly Mycenae). That's pretty cool about the Tomb of Agamemnon (those tombs remind me a little of the Etruscan ones in Italy - are they similar?), and apparently, there's one of Clytemnestra as well. I just finished a book about the Trojan War, so this post is very timely. I need to get to Greece, clearly - both the mythology and the history are so interesting.

This would be a dream come true for me and I will get there one day. In the mean time, I just research, look at gorgeous pictures, and read blogs written by people who have been there and experienced this first hand. Gorgeous images, amazing to see how big everything is relatively to that little human. Loved this post.

I haven't made it to Greece yet, but I'm really excited about visiting to see the ancient buildings and ruins. I visited Rome last year and found it so powerful to stand among the ruins there. I find the history just amazing and almost unbelievable. I'd love to visit Greece for the same reasons. There's so many places like this to explore, hopefully I can get there sooner rather than later.

Definitely my kind of trip! I love learning about history and old artifacts! Greece has so much historical sights. I'd love to visit!

That is so cool that Homer mentioned this place in his poems! It looks like it is filled with history. You got some great weather, and you mention that the Greek government is in the process of restoring the ruins. However, I think there is some beauty in the ruins, so it's cool that you got to see them before they were restored. It would be interesting to compare before and after. Thanks for sharing, Bhushavali!

Wow, knowing that Mycenae is well guarded by the huge mountains of both sides is truly amazing! Honestly, I haven't heard about Mycenae and Tiryins before, and both are really amazing with their Greek history. Anyway, I'm happy to know that the Greek Government is really taking good care of these historical sites, which I guess very impressive.

Great to see the ancient headquarters of the Mycenaean rulers. This place looks worth visiting in Greece as the site is also very natural. I missed this place during my Greece visit due to lack of time. Even the excavations of Tiryns looks interesting.
