説明

Explore Knossos, one of Crete’s finest archaeological sites, on this enriching historical study of the great King Minos’ enthralling capital city. Learn about the original palace, constructed around 1900 BC and destroyed several hundred years later by a devastating earthquake, and of the much grander replacement that followed. You’ll view remains that were carefully excavated over a century ago, some of which were painstakingly restored by Sir Arthur Evans. Notice the four expansive wings spreading outward from the complex’s heart, which formed an elaborate compound that once served as the ceremonial and political center of the ancient Minoan civilization. Walk the labyrinthine site to take in the royal living quarters, halls where state occasions were held, a theater area, storage rooms and potters’ workshops. Understand how the once-controversial restoration now offers great insight into the intricacies of Minoan life nearly 4,000 years ago. After your enlightening tour, relish free time in Heraklion for shopping or strolling around Crete’s delightful capital city.
