Archaeological site · Heraklion & Knossos, Greece

Knossos

The Minoan palace, and Evans's concrete reconstructions, which are the argument as much as the site.

Knossos is in Heraklion & Knossos, and this is Heraklion & Knossos — the atlas draws Europe in one projection whose finest unit is about four kilometres, so it maps the town rather than the street. The frame is about 950 km across and 340 km deep at this latitude. Coastline from Natural Earth, public domain. Relief from GMTED2010 (USGS) and ETOPO1 (NOAA), public domain. The full map →

Accessibility

Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.

Getting there

Ferries are the network: fast catamarans and slow open-deck boats, both booked online and both cancelled by wind. All of Greece →

Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.
