| Knossos Museum | 
 | One hundrent years ago King Minos and Knossos were justnames in the myths and legends of the ancient Greeks.
Then in 1900 AD Arthur Evans began to dig on a hill called \"Kefala\" just behind Heraklio and discovered the lost civilization of the Minoas.
The Palace of Knossos stands today a tribute to the vision of this pioneering archaeologist ready to amaze the visitor.
The brilliance of Minoas, however can best be appreciated by a tour of the Archaeological Museum of Heraklio where the finds from all the major Minoan sites are collected. Our expert guide will lead you through this labyrinth and thread the way with stories and explanations that bring these clever and graceful people to life. You also have ample time to explore the bustling town of Heraklio, the capital of Crete, with its Venetian fortifications, narrow, winding back streets and lively market.
