The Highlights: Knossos Palace & City Walk (from Heraklion)

The capital of King Minos and the center of the magnificent Minoan civilization is located 5kms away from Heraklion. A visit that is taking a step back in time and some 4000 years, 2000 BC. Knossos and the Palace, famous throughout the world through the myths of Europa, the Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus, opens a window to the most ancient civilization of Europe. The Archaeological Museum is one of the largest and most important museums in Greece, and most important of Europe. It houses representative artifacts from all the periods of Cretan prehistory and history, covering a chronological span of over 5,500 years from the Neolithic period to Roman times. Right after visitors walk around the city to see the Venetian buildings and castle, the impressive Cathedral, the fountains and the open street market.
