Knossos was een fantastische ervaring - de mythologie/filosofie achter de structuur (bvb betekenis van de verschillende ingangen) van het paleis werden erg bevattelijk voorgesteld door Ioanna -een erg beslagen gids zowel op archeologisch/filosofisch vlak -die ons duidelijk de erg rijke geschiedenis van Kreta zowel als het huidige strategische belang perfect kon uitleggen. De aansluitende wijnproeverij was voor mij als wijnliefhebber een echte eye-opener. Genieten er nog van na:-) Een aanrader voor wie echt wil begrijpen wat voor een historische rijkdom heeft!
