Mycenae was one of the major Greek civilizations. Strategically placed, Mycenae was a defensive stronghold but also had good farmland and an ample supply of water. The site also includes many graves where people were placed alongside some of their prized possessions that are now on display in the museum. The Tomb of Clytemnestra is also nearby.

Epidavros and Mycenae
Dating back to the 6th century B.C., people would visit Epidavros seeking healing for their ailments. The complex included a hotel with 160 rooms for visitors to stay as they hoped to be cured. Archeologists have found lots of medical tools used during their treatments. The complex also has a large theatre that is so well preserved it is still used today.
