Part 6/9:
At the fourth spot is the Knossos Ruins, hailed as Europe's oldest city. Located just south of Heraklion, the palatial complex runs approximately 14,000 square meters and showcases Minoan civilization’s architectural brilliance. As Zac and Ine state, the connection of these ruins to Greek mythology—specifically the labyrinth and the Minotaur—adds a layer of intrigue to this historical site.
For a more enriching experience, they recommend a guided tour, which unveils the importance of Knossos throughout Greek and European history, enhancing the visit significantly.
