The Palace of Knossos, home to the legendary King Minos and the mythical Minotaur, is a must-visit historical site in Crete. Explore this monumental complex on a guided walking tour with skip-the-line entry. Covering 20,000 square meters, Knossos is a masterpiece of Minoan civilization from the Bronze Age. Highlights include Europe’s oldest throne, advanced drainage systems, the first known theater in Europe, and intricate architecture. Discover areas dedicated to cults, workshops, temples, storage, and royal quarters. Admire the sophisticated water-management systems and frescoed walls of this four-story palace, which hosted ceremonies and feasts. Built after 2000 BC, the palace was reconstructed in 1700 BC following an earthquake and became the preeminent center of power in Bronze Age Crete for over 300 years. As you wander through the labyrinthine ruins, learn about its history, significance, and the advanced technology of the Minoans.
