Tour Description

The palace of Knossos being the centre of their civilization, Minoans constituted the main force of the island’s population during the Bronze Age.
Their civilization as well as the palace was destroyed at the explosion of the Santorini Volcano.
The excavation conducted by Arthur Evans 1900-1913 and 1922-1930 brought to light the grand palace of Knossos, along with other great findings of immense importance concerning the culture and the life of the Minoans, which are as of yet kept at the archaeological museum of Heraklion.
