Step back 3,700 years in history as you bypass the queues to Knossos Palace, the largest Bronze Age archaeological site. Explore the grandeur of the Minoan civilisation, with the majestic throne of King Minos and murals adorning the palace walls. The palace's restored ruins spread across 1,000 pieces – a testament to the meticulous work of archaeologist Arthur Evans.

Good to know

Wear sturdy shoes with a good grip, because the ancient stones are uneven and slippery.
Bring headphones if you plan to use the audio guide app, so you can listen comfortably while exploring without holding your phone.
Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, especially in summer, as there’s very little shade inside the Palace grounds.
Flash photography is not allowed inside reconstructed areas to help protect the delicate frescoes and wall paintings.
There are restrictions on large bags, so travel light to move around more easily.
The site is partially wheelchair-accessible, with a ramped pathway available at the main entrance.
