Crete – Larry Pannell Travel and photography

Iraklion (Heraklion) Crete

Knossos Archaeological Museum

New Post on my YouTube Channel “Travel Guide and Photography”

In today’s journey let’s explore one of the possibilities on the island of Crete and take a shore excursion to the Knossos Archaeological Museum. We will walk through the well-preserved ruins dating back to the mid-1500’s BC and the oldest city in Europe. It is the largest of the Bronze Age archaeological sites on Crete and thought to be Plato’s mythical city of Atlantis.

The Palace of Knossos where King Minos reigned still attains a beautiful well-preserved fresco along with several other on the grounds including one of Theseus battling the Minotaur. You will also find the famous Labyrinth built where the Minotaur was kept by King Minos.

I found the excursion to be Knossos Archaeological Museum highly enjoyable and well worth taking especially for those interest in history and Greek mythology.

If you are considering a trip to Alaska or a cruise to Alaska and the Inside Passage this book was written with you in mind. This book is designed not only as a travel guide but a coffee table book, yet is small enough to travel with you so the information is always at your fingertips. As an “Acupuncturist at Sea” on various cruise lines I have been to Alaska and the Inside Passage and its ports of call over 100 times. This has provided a very unique and an insider’s perspective often absent from other travel books. There are over three dozen large format photographs included to enjoy and have as memories of your trip.
