Consider taking a trip to Knossos, the thriving heart of Minoan civilization and the ruling city of Minoan Crete. Known as home to King Minos, Knossos takes pride in its elaborate Palace, thought by some to be the legendary labyrinth. Not too long ago, archaeologists unearthed this site and brought into the light Europe’s first advanced civilization. The largest collection of Minoan discoveries is housed in the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion. Two tour options are available for Knossos - the traditional tour allows you to explore the Knossos excavations and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.
