Palace of Knossos, Crete

#summervacay Exploring the Palace of Knossos was like stepping into the pages of Greek mythology. The ruins are large and surprisingly well-preserved, with vivid fresco reconstructions that help you imagine what life was like in the Minoan era. It’s believed to be the Labyrinth of the Minotaur, which adds a thrilling sense of legend to your visit. I recommend a guide or audio tour—you’ll get so much more from the experience.
