Palace of Heraklion Knossos, Greece
The story of the Minotaur monster in the labyrinth of Theseus vs Minoan in Greek mythology is well known, and the ancient period of each civilization is always intertwined with the chaos of history. British archaeologist Evans began with a curiosity about myths and legends, and after tireless efforts, excavated the ruins of Knossos Palace in Crete, Greece, in the early 20th century, confirming the existence of this civilization that predates The Messinee in the Peloponnese.
Today, the Palace of Knossos is definitely the most tourist attraction on the island of Crete. The royal palace is 4,000 years old, and the excavated treasures and fragments of frescoes are housed in the Archaeological Museum in the old city of Heraklion. Most of the ruins of the palace are broken bricks and tiles, and the pillars and frescoes were later restored by Evans on the basis of his own research and inference, which is different from the completely original appearance of the ancient city of Mycenae.
From the Archaeological Museum of the Old Town of Heraklion, there is a direct no. 2 bus with a round-trip ticket of 3 euros, which can be bought at the commissary at the bus station. At the ticket office at the entrance of the palace, you can buy a combined ticket for the palace + archaeological museum for a total of 20 euros. Many tour groups come here, but few go to museums. In fact, the real essence and rich content can only be explored in the museum.
