Nafplion to Areopolis – Day 5

First stop, Tiryns – an important centre of Mycenaean culture from the 15th to 12th century B.C.

    

Meanwhile the ants build their own Acropolis.

Looking back towards Nafplion and over the orange groves.

Next, Mycenae. First the tomb of Aegisthus.

Then the tomb of Klytemnestra.

The Lion gate.

The secret cistern.

The house of columns.

The grave circle.

 

Reproductions of items found.

Tomb of Agamemnon.

At the service station they had a disturbing Donald duck ride.

Next stop, Sparta. The statue of Leonidas.

The theatre is through the olive grove.

The theatre once held 15,000, but is now a bit overgrown.

     

More disturbing children’s rides.

My hotel room at Areopolis.
