Minoan Palace of Zakros 🇬🇷

#summerdestinations During my summer trip to Crete, I visited the Minoan Palace of Zakros, and it was a fascinating journey back in time. Located on the eastern side of the island, about an hour from Agios Nikolaos, the entrance fee is €6, which is well worth the price for the rich historical experience. The palace ruins, though partially restored, offer a vivid glimpse into Minoan civilization. Walking through the ancient corridors and viewing the intricate frescoes and storage rooms, you really get a sense of how advanced this ancient society was. The site is less crowded compared to other Minoan palaces, making it a peaceful and immersive experience. After exploring the palace, I enjoyed a relaxing visit to nearby Kato Zakros Beach, where I cooled off in the clear waters and had a delicious meal at a local taverna. The Minoan Palace of Zakros is a must-visit for history buffs and those looking to explore a quieter side of Crete. 🏛️🌊 #minoanpalaceofzakros #cretehistory #explorecrete #ancientruins #summerincrete #greekislands #travelcrete #historicalsites #cretanculture #hiddengems
