2THE PALACE OF KNOSSOS

Although the old city was abandoned in around 1100 BC, the architecture of Knossos remains standing. Amazingly, the palace of Knossos shows evidence that people inhabited Ancient Crete up to 9,000 years ago!

Some historians even have said that it’s Europe’s oldest city. So if you take in one piece of Crete history, this Minoan palace should be it. Just know that some of the archeological site was re-created after its excavation in the early 20th century.
