Mycenaean cemetery of Voudeni, Mycenaean necropolis in Skioessa, Greece.

The cemetery contains 78 carved tombs spread across 180 acres of land, situated at an elevation of 220 meters northeast of Patras.

Excavations at the site started in 1923 under Nikolaos Kyparissis, revealing bronze tools, weapons, jewelry, and clay artifacts from 1500-1050 BC.

The cemetery features different tomb shapes including circular, square, and horseshoe designs, reflecting the burial traditions of Mycenaean society.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site through regular bus services from Athens, with entry fees of 3 euros and operating hours until 15:30.

The settlement's position at Mount Panachaiko's base provided natural defenses and control over maritime routes in the Gulf of Patras.
