If you are in Heraklion, or even Crete, the archeological museum there is a must. The AMH is one of the greatest museums in all of Greece, second only to the National Archeological Museum in Athens and exhibits the biggest collection of Ancient Minoan artifacts and art. Plan a day for a trip to the Palace of Knossos and a visit to the museum.

And most of us will know the stories of King Minos labyrinth and the Minotaur. And everything was said to happen at the Palace of Knossos, according to its explorer, Sir Arthur Evans.
