The Palace of Knossos is the most impressive relic of the Minoan era, steeped in myths, legends, and stories. The palace that you see today is the second construction on this site, as the first was destroyed in an earthquake around 1700 BC. It is a palace rich in art, featuring luxurious dwellings and exquisite frescoes. The vast size of the palace is said to resemble a labyrinth, which is why the myth of the Minotaur is not merely coincidental. This archaeological site is extensive, and a knowledgeable guide can best help you explore its fascinating stories.
