Knossos is one of the most important archeological sites in Greece! It is an ancient Minoan palace dated back in 2000 B.C. while in the same area in pre-palace times there was a settlement of Neolithic people who lived there at 7000 B.C.! The Minoan palace was unearthed by Arthur Evans in 1900 but discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos. It is located 5km South of Heraklion and it is available to visit all year around.

Knossos is the centre of Minoan civilisation and the capital of Minoan Crete. It's 5km south of Heraklion city and about an hour driving from Rethymno.

Knossos Palace was the ceremonial and political center of the Minoan Civilization during the Bronze Age. Considered as Europe’s oldest city, Knossos was once the city-state of Crete, with the town surrounding the hill the palace is on. Knossos is located just outside Heraklion city. It is well signposted so you can easily drive there on your own. If you book an organised tour, the transfer is included. From Heraklion city centre, you can either take a taxi or hop on the public bus No2 to Knossos. The public bus runs frequently from the city centre, is very cheap and the ride takes about 30 minutes. Easy-peasy! You will find a wide offer of organised day tours to Knossos everywhere. The cost of these might vary significantly. That’s because some of them might include a guided tour, lunch, a visit to the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, etc.

The roots of European Civilization started here in Crete..in Minoic ages...if you visit the Palace of Knossos,you will go back in time when Minoan was a famous king, when Minoans with their ships owned the world!! And if you are lucky..you may see Ariadni,the daughter of king Minoan and "Minotaurus", a strange animal, human and bull, hidden in the palace..A love story between myth and history..
