Our knowledge of Crete and the importance of the Minoan civilization
owes much to Sir arthur Evans the British archaeologist who excavated
the ancient palace of Knossos, near Heraklion. The exceptionally

remarkable hydraulic system and labyrinthine corridors where according
to the legend lived the Minotaur. Many of the treasures discovered in

archaeological museum, in Chania the second largest city of Crete you

However, the largest city and main port of Crete is Heraklion named
Candia during the medieval times. The city has retained many of the
Venetian and Turkish features. The Venetians fortified the city in the
early 13th century and they made it it a major naval base. There are
notable Venetian and Byzantine churches and mansions.

collection from the Cretan Minoan culture. Accommodation and hotels in
