Actually, the rear gate is historically the more interesting gate, the enemies used to get in through it, it's good to take photos because it's not so crowded, the lion's gate is a must for all photo hunters, but you need patience at this point so that you don't get hordes of has people in the picture.

Had a key for the back entrance to Mycenae. The feeling of walking through the historic gate like the invaders on their way. Indescribable.
