    Mycenae Archaeological Site

    Pass through the Lion Gate into the citadel of Agamemnon, leader of the Greeks at Troy. Mycenae's Linear B tablets (1400-1200 BC) contain the first Greek wine records - inventory lists of wine quantities stored for the palace. The Treasury of Atreus (tholos tomb) and the palace ruins evoke an age when wine was both sacred offering and royal prerogative. UNESCO World Heritage site.
