Nov 9 - it ends at the beginning

We left Kardamyli for our drive across the Pelopennese and back to Athens to fly home.

But first our final stop - a visit at Mycenae, the capital of the first civilization that would become what we know as the Greeks, over a thousand years before the glory days of the Athenian city-state of Plato and Socrates.



The Lion's Gate entrance



The Tomb of Agamemnon.



The lintel above the doorway weighs 120 tons - the biggest stones of the Egyptian pyramids weighed 30 tons.



The tomb's domed ceiling - over 1000 years before Rome's Pantheon.



Final evening view of the Acropolis, from our hotel.
