点评:Seeing the palace of Knossos was a lifelong wish after reading about Evans' discoveries in my youth (long ago). After working out where the bus left from, it was an easy trip on a local bus to the site. Entrance to the site was quick (off peak season) and inexpensive. We decided against a guided tour as we prefer to explore at our own pace, and I had read quite a lot about the history. In spite of Evans' attempts at restoration, we still found the ruins beautiful and fascinating. It's easy to imagine how stunning it must have all been in its day. The setting in the local landscape is still beautiful - a backdrop of olive groves and green hills. We later visited the archaeological museum where many of the finds can be seen. The wall murals are gorgeous. The priestess holding two snakes, and with a cat on her head was definitely worth seeing!
