Enter the Lion Gate and Grave Circle A of Agamemnon's citadel with a specialist guide who separates Homeric legend from what Schliemann's dig actually found.
What to expect
Roughly 90 minutes from Corinth, you pass beneath the famous Lion Gate relief into a Bronze Age citadel that predates classical Greece by a millennium. Your guide walks you through Grave Circle A, where Schliemann found the gold mask he wrongly attributed to Agamemnon, then down into the corbel-vaulted Treasury of Atreus. It's dense, layered history delivered by someone who can field real questions rather than recite a script.
Good to know
This is a full-day add-on (6-8 hours total with Corinth) — confirm it fits your ship's all-aboard time before booking. Bring water and a hat; the site has little shade.
