Archaeology
The Palace of Knossos, 1900 BC, certainly deserves a visit in order to admire its famous frescoes, but remember that for the most part, these are replicas and the originals are kept in the museum of Heraklion.
Festos was one of the most important palaces of Minoan Crete and was discovered in 1900 by an Italian archaeologist. The Phaistos disc was discovered here, with its mysterious symbols still indecipherable. The visit to the archaeological museum of Heraklion is indispensable for anyone who wants to learn about the Minoan civilization. Going to Agios Nikolaos you will meet the site of the ancient city of Gournia which boasts the remains of the third most important palace after the ones in Knossos and Festos. With very few tourists, it is really a pleasure to sit down and meditate among these ruins where time really seems to have stopped.
