The Bronze Age Revisited
The Argolid, 100km southwest of Athens, contains the greatest concentration of Bronze Age archaeology in the world: Mycenae (the Lion Gate, the Treasury of Atreus, the shaft graves where Schliemann found the gold), Tiryns (the cyclopean walls described by Homer), and Nafplio (the most beautiful town in the Peloponnese, with Venetian fortifications and a harbour overlooked by the Bourtzi island fortress). FFGR Greece drives you from Athens in a Rolls-Royce Ghost with a specialist Mycenaean archaeologist as guide, covering all three sites in a single comprehensive day.
