6Knossos — The labyrinth of legends

On Crete, the Palace of Knossos evokes the myths of King Minos, the Minotaur, and the labyrinth. Archaeological reconstructions allow visitors to explore the vibrant frescoes, ceremonial halls, and intricate storage rooms.

Today, Knossos feels alive as historians, archaeologists, and guides share stories of Minoan civilization, while interactive exhibits and seasonal cultural events help bring the Bronze Age into the 21st century. Walking through Knossos is like stepping into a living myth.
