Athens → Mycenae
Athens to Mycenae by licensed Tesla taxi
Mycenae gave its name to an entire civilisation. The citadel stands on a ridge between two hills in the Argolid, and the Lion Gate is still the entrance you walk through, more than three thousand years after it was raised.
The route
Getting from Athens to Mycenae.
The drive crosses the Corinth Canal and continues into the Argolid, where the site sits a short distance off the main road.
Mycenae pairs naturally with Nafplio or Epidaurus, which are both close by.
Summer afternoons on the ridge are hot and exposed, so an early start is usually the better plan.
Possible stops
- Lion GateThe monumental entrance to the citadel, carved in the 13th century BC.
- Treasury of AtreusThe vast beehive tomb below the citadel, one of the great rooms of prehistory.

Private door-to-door transfer from Athens, Athens Airport or Piraeus Cruise Port, driving straight to the site or on to your hotel in the Argolid.
As a private tour
As a private tour we combine Mycenae with the Corinth Canal and either Nafplio for lunch or the theatre at Epidaurus, and return to Athens the same evening.
The Tesla on this route
Our licensed yellow Tesla Model Y taxi makes this a comfortable journey. It is a long enough drive to appreciate a quiet cabin: air conditioning throughout, a panoramic roof for the scenery, room for luggage in the back, and no engine noise between conversations. The car waits with your bags while you walk the sites.
