The Palace of Knossos
2 hours
THE MAGNIFICENT PALACE OF COLOURS Wander in the footsteps of the Minoans, visiting the oldest and most important monument on Crete, Greece and whole Europe. The construction of Knossos Palace sets the pattern of organization in Crete and Greece too. It implies a peaceful period of great wealth, prosperity and concentration of authorities both political and religious. It was the center of administration of the entire island during Minoan times. Its position is such that allowed unprecedented growth and prosperity as witnessed by the plethora of storage magazines, workshops, and wall paintings. The elegant wall frescoes, which decorated the halls, speak of people who approached the subtleties of life and the splendor of nature with a joyous disposition. The Palace radiates a joyous exuberance through the elaborate architectural planes and volumes that were clustered around the central courtyard. Our Professional Licensed Tourist Guide will make this visit an unforgettable experience.
