Knossos – The Largest Bronze Archaeological Site On Crete
The player loads from YouTube only when you press play.
Knossos, just outside Heraklion, is the largest Bronze Age site on Crete and once the palace of the legendary King Minos, with a history stretching back to around 2000 BC. We’d built it up as the essential Cretan ruin, so we made the three-hour bus trip from Chania to see it. In the end it left us a little cold, and we go into the reasons why on the blog, though the fading evening light and thin late crowds did help.
