CRETE with family, Crete with children
Activities: We visited Knossos, the legendary home of King Minos. We learned about the Minotaur, the labyrinth, and the exploits of Theseus. It brought the mythology to life for the children!
Highlights: Knossos was a highlight. We loved diving into the mythology by visiting the legendary home of King Minos. "The Minotaur, half-man, half-bull, the labyrinth built by Daedalus, the father of Icarus, the exploits of Theseus, the thread of Ariadne… as many stories that fascinate children." ✨
