MINOS’ CHILDREN: DAILY LIFE IN KNOSSOS

Yishharu, the son of an aristocratic family, grew up in the peaceful years of Minoan naval power. His name was immortalized in an Egyptian tablet. He spent his life in the meandering corridors and the splendid rooms of the palace. As we explore Knossos, we will discover the secrets of daily life in Minoan Crete.

SIGNS AND WONDERS: THE MINOAN PATH OF LASITHI

The countryside of Crete is colourful and enchanting. The rocky hills, home to the giant fennel, the peonies, and the Cretan dittany, are also the playground of some unexpected dwellers. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the fleeting shadow of a griffon or Minoan genii, as you climb one of Crete’s best preserved Minoan trails.

Cultural Mapping is a new Action by ATHINA Educational Network – a Certified, Greek Network for Culture and Education – and its aim is to promote Cultural Tourism, by helping people in collecting cultural experiences and in exchanging their personal stories and views, always under the umbrella of Cultural and Environmental heritage enhancement. Cultural Mapping has already been implemented with great success in Crete, at the following area: Knossos – Return to the Birthplace of Zeus – Dictaean Cave, aiming to recapture Myth and Tradition, by bringing to light the history of the Cave together with the presentation of everyday life of Minoan in Knossos.
