Knossos near Heraklion in Crete is the palace complex of the Minoan civilization which flourished between 2700 and 1450 BCE and represented the most sophisticated Bronze Age culture in Europe.

The palace had running water, flush toilets, and a drainage system at a time when the rest of Europe was living in mud huts.

Entry to Knossos costs around 15 euros.

Those who walk through the extraordinarily complex multi-storey palace with its extraordinary frescoes, its throne room still intact after 3,500 years, and its extraordinary plumbing describe it as the most technologically astonishing and most completely mind-shifting ancient site experience available in the entire eastern Mediterranean.
