The most famous landmark of Crete, Knossos, is the absolute “must” for everybody who decides to spend his or
her vacation on our beautiful island. On one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Greece, we find the center of
one of the most powerful civilizations of the ancient world and through the excavations, the legends and the history of
the place we learn about its settlers: the Minoan people, the rulers of the Mediterranean.
With its small palace, the room of murals, the royal tombs and the royal mansion, Knossos is probably the most
significant token of a civilization that left such marks in history that can never be erased. The intricate structure of the
palace corridors gave it the name Labyrinth, where, according to the myth, the legendary Minotaur used to live. The
marvelous architectural plan, the use of rare and luxurious materials, the advanced techniques of construction and
drainage system and the massive size of the palace of Knossos make it, even today, the most amazing sight on Crete.
We return to the city to visit the newly renovated Archaeological Museum, which exhibits traditional architecture
and preserves exquisite and valuable ethnographic and historical material from the ancient period of Cretan history.
A stroll in the city of Heraklion will end up a perfect day –shopping in its modern stores, enjoying our coffee or
lunch in one of its many restaurants or just exploring its superb medieval buildings.
