Knossos

 We decided to go to Knossos after all - although the bus journeys were long ( and the buses stopped everywhere) there were spectacular views of the snow-capped White Mountains on our return

 While mainly reconstructions, the site does give a vivid picture of what it may have looked like - reminds me of an architectural model with cutouts

 And there were some splendid big pots!!

A lot more areas were closed off than 20 years ago when I last visited - presuure of visitors I guess, it's the second most visited site in Greece after the Acropolis.
