A trip back in time at Knossos ✈️

#ancienttown Visiting Knossos Palace in Crete was like diving into ancient history! 🏛️ The site is massive, and walking through it, you can really imagine what life was like during the Minoan civilization. The entrance fee was €15, and it includes access to the ruins and the small museum on-site. Seeing the Throne Room, the frescoes, and the grand staircase up close was incredible. It’s amazing how advanced this ancient city was, with its intricate layouts and drainage systems. 🗝️ The site is well-marked, but I’d recommend a guided tour or an audio guide to get the most out of it. Just a short drive away is the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, where many of the artifacts from Knossos are displayed, making it a perfect next stop. 🏺 After exploring the palace, we took a stroll through Heraklion’s Old Town, which has a lovely mix of shops and cafes. If you’re into history and archaeology, Knossos is an absolute must-see! #trip #knossos #crete #ancienthistory #greecetravel #minoancivilization

Located οn the southern side of the Aegean Sea, Crete is the biggest of all Greek islands. Its beauty, though, is even bigger than its size! Let us paint the scene: Just imagine enthralling natural beauty meeting rich culture and worldwide famous gastronomy, to create the most dreamy holiday paradise! The island is separated in 4 prefectures: Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Lassithi. The mythical Crete island is one of the most popular Greek destinations, thanks to its unreal Crete beaches, its amazing historical sites, such as Knossos Palace and Spinalonga islet and its mesmerizing natural landscapes. Not to mention Chania town and Heraklion town some of the biggest towns in Crete, which boast a magnificent medieval architecture. Honestly, wandering around their warren of romantic alleys will make you feel as if you’ve traveled back in time! Crete Greece is, hands down, one of the most magical Greek islands! #mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway
