What to expect
The Palace of Knossos is a Minoan palace located in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. It was built in two phases, first around 1900 B.C. and again from 1700-1450 B.C., and covers an area of 22,000 square meters. The palace has three main wings, with the throne room situated in the west wing, and the eastern wing housing the royal chambers, the room with double axes, and the queen's megaron. The site is also connected with thrilling legends, such as the myth of the Labyrinth with the Minotaur, and the story of Daedalus and Icarus. The palace is a popular tourist destination and offers a glimpse into the history and culture of the Minoan civilization. There is access for people with disabilities from the entrance of the Palace up to the Central Court
