How to spend a wonderful day at Knossos Palace in Heraklion, Crete, Greece 🇬🇷
Let’s explore antiquity in Heraklion, Crete 🇬🇷
A quick ride to the outskirts of Crete’s capital city whisks you to antique Knossos.
Knossos is best known as a magnificent Minoan palatial complex from the Bronze Age. Discoveries in this ancient city span from Neolithic to Roman eras.
In 1877, Greek archaeologist Minos Kalokairinos first discovered Knossos and “unlocked the key” to mythical King Minos’ Palace and Minotaur’s Labyrinth.
From 1900 to 1905, British archaeologist Sir Arthur J. Evans extensively excavated and vividly reconstructed Knossos.
Today, Knossos is the most visited landmark in Greece after the Acropolis of Athens.
Paintings, placards, and paved pathways ease and enhance your experience. And, oh yes, peacocks!
Roaming the archaeological site sparks wonder at the Minoans’ monumental scale and sophistication.
Next, visiting the Heraklion Archaeological Museum in city center inspires awe at Knossos’ exquisite art and artifacts.
Now, the legendary past is part of your travel memories and stories in Greece.
