O que fará

Step into the world of myth and history at the Palace of Knossos, the legendary
home of King Minos and the mythical Minotaur. This must-visit archaeological site in Crete spans an impressive 20,000 square meters and represents the pinnacle of Minoan civilization during the Bronze Age. Intricately designed workshops, temples, royal apartments, and cult areas. Lavishly decorated frescoes and ceremonial courts used for feasts and public events. Originally constructed just after 2000 BC, the palace was rebuilt in 1700 BC following a devastating earthquake. The second iteration became a monumental, four-story structure and the center of political, religious, and cultural life in Bronze Age Crete for over three centuries. As you explore the labyrinthine ruins, your guide will share insights into the daily lives, rituals, and technological innovations of the ancient Minoans, bringing Europe’s earliest urban culture vividly to life.
