Once you have found your vacation rental in Crete, no visit would be complete without taking in the renowned Palace of Knossos. Perched atop Kephala Hill, this palace, once the majestic capital of Minoan Crete, stands as a captivating reminder of a bygone empire. Human traces on this site date as far back as the Neolithic period (7000 to 3000BC), with various palaces erected there since 1900BC. The final palace fell to ruins in 1350BC, with the site being reoccupied from the Late Mycenaean period through to Roman times. Its legacy is tied to iconic Greek legends like the Labyrinth and the tale of Daidalos and Ikaros.
