These labyrinthine ruins are said to have been home to the monstrous Minotaur, a half-man half-bull creature that devoured young virgins.

The legend has it that king Minos of Crete wanted to hide the fruit of his wife Pasifae's cheating on him.This fruit was none other than the famous Minotaur.In order to conceal his presence from others, the king ordered the Athenian engineer Daedalus to build a labyrinth like construction. The palace of Cnossos with its terraces, columns and many rooms, courtyards and staircases looks like a labyrinth of incomparable beauty if you take into account its digital restoration to its former glory.The wonderful wall paintings and its many artefacts exhibited in the Archaeological museum of Heraklion bear witness to an amazing civilization flourishing here, in Crete at the dawn of human history. Visiting Cnossos is therefore a real treat and its astoundingly beautiful items to be found in the museum will only add to one's feelings of wonder and reverence.
