Stop At: The Palace of Knossos, Knosos, Crete 714 09 Greece
Knossos is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and has been called Europe's oldest city.
Settled as early as the Neolithic period, the name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The palace of Knossos eventually became the ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilization and culture. The palace was abandoned at some unknown time at the end of the Late Bronze Age, c. 1,380–1,100 BC.[4] The reason why is unknown, but one of the many disasters that befell the palace is generally put forward.

Very disappointing. The guide was knowledgeable and well informed. But it was very hot and the guide wanted to take pictures of us at least 6 times. We felt like he was dragging things out. The van was nice and clean with a driver. The museum visit was nice but the guide couldn't hold 6 peoples attention. Not a good value for the money.
