Overview

Travel through Crete and visit the legendary Knossos Palace, the ancient capital of Minoan Crete. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Minoan civilization—Europe’s first advanced society.

Although sites like Knossos were excavated as early as the late 18th century, the secrets of this Bronze Age civilization remain hidden, woven into a labyrinth of myth and history.
