    We visited both the Archeological Museum and Knossos, the Minoan Palace built around 1900 BC and is associated with the Greek myth of the Minotaur. The museum was by far the better of the two as it had all the original findings and treasures whereas the archeological site is basically the layout of the Palace. Perhaps I've overdosed on piles of rocks this trip?🤪 There is construction at the site to build it up as it was in its glory but there is some disagreement regarding the layout and the purpose of areas and rooms. In any case, it was interesting and worthwhile. Now it is time for some sand & sea! Next up: Matala, on the south coast.Read more
