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.

the Romans used the place as their harbor. Nevertheless, for most people, Matala means only one
thing: hippies. Back in the late 1960s - 1970s, this little town was a colony of the “flower children”,
