Knossos, an intricate maze of over 1500 connected rooms, was more than just the prison of the infamous Minotaur. It was a magnificent palace, constructed for a powerful monarch of the Bronze Age. As you navigate through the maze-like remnants, you’ll get to see the original throne of “Minos”, which has remained intact for 3,500 years; the enigmatic holy places, the opulent living spaces of the royal family, the storerooms that were once filled with the riches of Crete, and the remarkable water-management systems, among other Minoan marvels!
