Any lover of Greek mythology will find themselves lost in wonder as they walk where legends were created. The Minoan civilization lasted for close to two millennia, but what we may remember most is the tale of the Minotaur's labyrinth.

Knossos Palace & Archaeological Site tickets guarantee a history fix, and a fascinating adventure.

Archaeological work reveals that Knossos dates back to the Neolithic period, and the city is thought to have been the largest during Bronze Age Europe.

Sicuramente completa, l'unica pecca è che per non sbagliare è necessario visualizzare ogni volta il percorso, visto che non segue la sequenza numerica classica
