#timetotravel My visit to the Knossos Archaeological Site in Crete was like stepping into the labyrinth of ancient history. Located just south of Heraklion, this Minoan palace complex unveiled the secrets of a once-thriving civilization. Walking among the ruins, I felt a connection to the myths and stories that have echoed through time. The restored frescoes and intricate architecture showcased the Minoans' advanced culture. The site's location in the serene Cretan landscape added to its allure. While the visiting hours might vary, a visit during the day offered a chance to explore the fascinating remnants of this ancient palace. Knossos was more than an archaeological site; it was a journey to the heart of an enigmatic civilization, an experience that left me awestruck by the legacy of the past.
