Mycenaean Cemetery of Voudeni
Just west of Patras lies the periphery of what was once the Mycenean world. There was a settlement on Bourtzi hill for around 500 years, with some 78 carved tombs dating back to 1500 BC since found in the area. Many of the finds made here are now on view in the Archaeological Museum in Patras, which is certainly easier to reach; visitors will need a car to get Voudeni. But it's worth the effort to get here, and the site is surrounded by a well-kept garden that makes for a relaxed stroll.
