The most probable speculation is that Aenea was a colony of Corinthians, founded in the late 8th century BV. During the 5th century, it entered the Athenian alliance. Later, it defected from the alliance, and was attached to the Chalkis Common, in the 4th century BC until 348BC, when it was conquered by Philip B, king of Macedonia.
Aenea was one of the settlements that are mentioned in various sources to have been settled as to compose Thessaloniki. The settlement must not have been completely deserted, as activities appear still in the 3rd and 2nd century BC.
An established and preferred choice of those who prefer to be close to the center. Combine the visit to the beach with a trip to Nerospilia, a cave with wonderful stalactities and stalagmites.
At the end of an unforgettable trip, through the southern end of the White Mountains, lays the beach of Sougia, 67km south of the capital. A mix of sand and pebble, clean and deep waters, and an “unofficial” meeting point for nudists.
The exhibits of the Mycenae Archaeological Museum come from Mycenae and the spots that have been investigated in the surrounding areas and are accompanied by explanatory material, such as information, identification tabs of the exhibits, maps, drawings and recreations.
