They both were the first two cultures to be developed in Greece.
(Mycenaeans were first because the only spoke greek.)
The Minoan Civilization (2.700 BC) preceded the Mycenaean civilization(1.600). The main difference was that the Minoans were a very peaceful civilization (nowhere in their art battles or anything war related is depicted, only festivities, which is somewhat unique) and they were more sea-orientated. They used the same bronze age weapons but Minoans preferred the bow (probably because their mean occupation besides naval trade was hunting) rather than single or double edged small swords (the symbol of the Minoans, the double-edged axe, was a ceremonial weapon).
The Mycenaeans borrowed from the Minoans.
Minoans - Crete, Mycenaeans - southern Greece.

The Mycenaeans lived on Greek mainland
the mycenaeans were influenced my the minoans culture because the mycenaeans built palaces on hilltops, just like the minoans did. the only difference is that the mycenaeans DID have walls built around their palaces but the minoans didn't. hope this helps!
The Minoans and Mycenaeans used the same script, the so-called Linear-A script developed by the Minoans. The Mycenaeans only adapted it to the needs of the Mycenaean language. They also in a way shared culture, religion and art with the Minoans, in the sense that the Mycenaeans after conquering the Minoans, took over - with only some adaptions - the Minoan culture.
