Knossos
Explore the extensive ruins of Knossos, a 3,000-year-old frescoed Minoan Palace, home to Europe's earliest civilisation. Discovered by British archaeologist Arthur Evans in 1900, it was subsequently excavated and partially reconstructed. Finds from the site are displayed in the Archaeological Museum in the nearby Venetian-style port town of Iraklio, on Crete.
