Knossos is a short drive from central Heraklion; options include city buses, local taxis, or private car—allow extra time in peak season for traffic and queues.
Knossos was the ceremonial and political center of Minoan Crete; its complex palace plan and fresco fragments influenced later Greek myth about King Minos and the labyrinth.
