One of the most popular excursions is a visit to the Knossos Palace. The veil of ancient Greek civilization will open before you, you can look at the excavations of the palace itself, which was the center of the Minoan culture. This discovery was very important for knowledge about the culture of Greece. The excavations were carried out by the archaeologist A. Evans, who carried out a thorough and painstaking work. Thanks to his work, today the ancient architectural structure is available for viewing by tourists. And this ancient palace has become the most popular and visited attraction of the island.

The palace consisted of 5 floors, with numerous rooms, corridors and passages. The architecture of the building was very complex and resembled a labyrinth, and the size of the palace itself is simply incredible. Beautiful wall paintings, stucco and frescoes can only convey a fraction of the real beauty of this majestic palace. But, turning on imagination and fantasy, you can imagine how luxurious the rooms, halls and facade of this building were. It was here that the myths about the Minotaur, Zeus, King Minos, the beautiful diva Ariadne and the brave Theseus originated. A visit to the ruins of the palace will be a truly fascinating excursion. This place should be one of the first places you need to go.
