Knossos Palace 🇬🇷

#summerdestinations This summer, I visited the Palace of Knossos in Crete, and it was like stepping back into ancient history! Located just outside Heraklion, the entrance fee is €15 for adults, which grants you access to the legendary site believed to be Europe's oldest city. Wandering through the ruins, I was amazed by the vivid frescoes, the grand staircases, and the reconstructed throne room. The stories of King Minos and the mythical Minotaur came alive as I explored the labyrinthine corridors. The site is well-preserved and offers a fascinating glimpse into Minoan civilization. Nearby, you can visit the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, which houses many artifacts from Knossos, or relax at one of the charming cafes in Heraklion's old town. Knossos Palace is a must-visit for history buffs and anyone curious about ancient cultures! 🏛️🔱 #knossospalace #crete #ancienthistory #minoancivilization #summeringreece #explorecrete #archaeologicalsites #greekmythology #travelgreece #culturalheritage

Located οn the southern side of the Aegean Sea, Crete is the biggest of all Greek islands. Its beauty, though, is even bigger than its size! Let us paint the scene: Just imagine enthralling natural beauty meeting rich culture and worldwide famous gastronomy, to create the most dreamy holiday paradise! The island is separated in 4 prefectures: Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Lassithi. The mythical Crete island is one of the most popular Greek destinations, thanks to its unreal Crete beaches, its amazing historical sites, such as Knossos Palace and Spinalonga islet and its mesmerizing natural landscapes. Not to mention Chania town and Heraklion town some of the biggest towns in Crete, which boast a magnificent medieval architecture. Honestly, wandering around their warren of romantic alleys will make you feel as if you’ve traveled back in time! Crete Greece is, hands down, one of the most magical Greek islands! #mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway
