Thebes Museum submitted by AlexHunger on 23rd Aug 2006. The Museum in Thebes looked like a mediaval tower built from antique blocks and is recommended by the Michelin Guide for Greece. It is however still being renovated at this time.

Tippett Mound
Date Added: 12th Dec 2012
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 25th Jun 2011. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 2
Log Text: I hiked to this mound from the north entrance of the Taft Reserve. There is a pictorial trail map on a display in a parking area that clearly identifies the mound. The most direct routes appears to be on a trail that starts as a rough, grassy lane from the north east corner of the property, along a fence line, but through woods. Basically stay to the left at all junctions until you find a post marked "9", then turn right. You will very quickly leave the woods and enter a meadow, only some of which is kept mowed. The mound is immediately obvious and straight ahead. You can approach the tree covered mound in order to see the contour clearly, but in late June, this was by make a path through chest high grass, wildflowers and bramble.

Tomb of Philip II
Date Added: 5th Jul 2017
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Greece (Northern Greece)
Visited: Yes on 7th May 2017. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 5
Log Text: The Great Mound was apparently an overgrown but noted site into modern times when excavated formally in the 1970's. Now the multiple tombs and graves are displayed in this museum setting, with the beautiful finds along side the tombs. The lighting is very dim at first and especially when they first open each day, the site is very crowded, but in 2017, the site appears to be open into the early evening and the crowds die down by mid afternoon.
