I'm not sure how much I will get out of the visit until I get home and review my photos with my notes as it was pre http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Greece/Crete/Knossos/blog-286084.html We got up early to catch an early bus to Knossos. We caught the bus at Liberty Square Plata Venizelou at about 8am. It was a city bus cost 1.15 Euros each and became quite crowded. Knossos is right on the outskirts of Iraklio so you don't realize you're there until the driver yells Knossos. The entry fee was 6 Euros each. Knossos is quite extensive fairly well excavated and partially rest http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Greece/Crete/Knossos/blog-279059.html Arrived in the middle of the night in Iraklio after a bumpy ferry ride from Mykonos.Managed to find a bed in a rather Seedy youth Hostel. Next morning i rocked up at the hotel i was meant to meet my folks at turns out they had been on the same ferry as me from Naxos onwards. my mum was most surprised that i hadn't heard her on the ferry coughing and spulttering away with a cold she's picked up. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Greece/Crete/Knossos/blog-89738.html
