Greece Trip Day 53
Greece Trip Day 53 On 2024.06.09 at 12:10 Greek time, the Panorama tour group finished their visit to the Knossos Labyrinth and arrived at the second stop on Crete Island: the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. This museum is the most important in Greece after the National Archaeological Museum, housing artifacts spanning 5500 years from the Neolithic to the Roman period, particularly renowned for its rich collection of Minoan civilization.

Crete, Greece
🖼️ Crete and Santorini are the two most compared holiday destinations in Greece. The first day in Santorini was amazing, but it got a bit boring on the second day. Crete, on the other hand, was full of surprises all the way. 🛥️ We took a ferry from Santorini to Crete, rented a car in Heraklion, and returned the car at Chania Airport, which was very convenient. Although the ferry is good, the dock management is a disaster, so it is recommended that those who take the ferry must ask in advance which gate the ferry will dock at. 🧉 On the first night in Crete, we were first amazed by the enthusiastic waiters, and then amazed by the large amount of food and cheap meals! 🗺️ The two most worthwhile places to visit in Crete are: 1. Heraklion It is the capital of Crete and the birthplace of the Minoan civilization: I recommend everyone to visit the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the ruins of the Palace of Knossos (both of these attractions are free on Saturdays) 🏛️ Although the Archaeological Museum is not large, it has a large collection of items spanning 5500 years, making it one of the most important museums of Minoan civilization in the world. The only downside is that there is no audio guide. 💍 There is a small jewelry shop directly opposite the museum, which is the most tasteful jewelry shop I have visited on the entire island, but I forgot to take a picture. It's the first shop on the left when you cross the road from the museum, you won't miss it. 🛕 The ruins of the Palace of Knossos are in the suburbs of Heraklion, and not much of the original palace remains. There is a wooden model of the palace (Figure 8) in the Heraklion Museum, which is very impressive. I suggest everyone to visit the Heraklion Museum first, and then go to the ruins of the Palace of Knossos. 2. Chania Chania is the second largest city on Crete, and the locals recommended us to visit, saying that the architecture is very special. When we arrived in Chania, we found out that these were Venetian buildings, and Chania is a small Venice. The city center and the old town are very good for strolling. 🌄 We drove for 1.5 hours on a mountain road, and arrived at the famous pink beach with fear and trepidation, but it was not as good as the legend, probably because we arrived at the beach relatively late, so we could only see a little bit of the pink beach. It is recommended that those who have brought swimsuits and are not afraid of the sun can leave Chania earlier, and it is a good time to arrive at 2 pm. 🏨 Accommodation If you are in Chania, I highly recommend an Airbnb called Michalis Stonehouse. It is the best experience we have had in all the homestays we have stayed in Greece. In addition to the beautiful house and the exclusive parking space outside the door, the host also thoughtfully provided us with cereal, condensed milk, bread, ham, cheese, and local rose wine. It is a very warm homestay.

Heraklion Archaeological museum
The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Greek history and culture. The museum is home to an impressive collection of artifacts from the Minoan civilization, which was one of the earliest and most advanced societies in the Mediterranean region. The museum's exhibits are well-organized and informative, and the displays are accompanied by clear and concise explanations in English.

Heraklion Archaeological Museum - Greece
This magnificent museum is one of the largest and most important in all of Greece. The two-story renovated building from the 1930s, which was awarded the international Bauhaus Prize, houses priceless artefacts spanning 5,500 years of the island's history, from the Neolithic and Minoan periods to Roman domination. Rooms are marked with different colors, and showcases with exhibits are arranged both in chronological and thematic order with descriptions in English. A visit to this museum will greatly enhance your knowledge of the rich history of Crete. I highly recommend. Address: Archaeological Museum, Heraklion, Greece. #bucketlistreboot #greece #museumquest
