The Palace of Knossos is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world and one of the most recognizable symbols of Crete. Built on a hill about 5 km east of Heraklion, this impressive complex of buildings was the centre of Minoan civilization, one of the first high-level civilizations in Europe. Associated with the myths of Theseus, Minotaur and the labyrinth, it is undoubtedly the archaeological site that stands out in Crete.
