Knossos
The palace of Knossos is situated outside Iraklio and it is the most important.
It was discovered by a Welshman called Sir Evans in 1900. The myth says that the palace housed a monster, the Minotaur, but there was neither a labyrinth nor a Minotaur. They used to call palace labyrinth, because it had 150 rooms and a lot of corridors.
The Minoans stored their food, oil and wine in large amphoras. Men and women were short and slim, because of their good diet, consisting of fish, vegetables and fruit.
