Homer mentions that Mycenae was rich in gold and well fortified. The gold that was discovered by Schliemann in the grave circle weighted 14 kilos of pure gold. . . The Cyclopian walls are still standing high after 3. 500 years as a proof to the greatness of the ancient civilisation that flourished in this soil. The first labor of Hercules was killing the lion of Nemea. Thereafter he wore its impenetrable hide as armour. . . Nafplio my favourite town in Greece, the first capital of the liberated country with Its spectacular Venetian fortresses is undoubtedly worth a visit! The first Parliament House was sheltered in the Ottoman mosque! I started doing this tour because I love the way that history interwins with the Greek legends . We are visiting a part of the country which makes the Greeks proud of their ancestors. From the Achaeans of Homer whom we call today Mycenaeans all the way to the Greek heroes that fought to liberate their native land some 3000 years later.
