The ruins at Knossos were first discovered in 1878, but it was not until 1900 that English archaeologist Arthur Evans purchased the entire site and conducted massive excavations calling the culture he discovered Minoan.

It is a popular tourist destination today, and has been substantially if imaginatively rebuilt, making the site accessible to the casual visitor in a way that a field of unmarked ruins is not.

Samaria Gorge Samarijski ždrijelo
This is the longest gorge in Europe, its length being 18 km and is descending from the Plateau at 1200m high, all the way down to sea-level at Agia Roumeli village with spectacular scenery all the way. To je najduži klanac u Europi, njegove dužine 18 km i da je spuštanje na visoravni na 1200m visok, sve do morske razine u Agia Roumeli selo s spektakularan prizor svim način. Walking the whole distance will take 4 to 7 hr at a reasonable pace . Pješačka udaljenost cijelom će se od 4 do 7 HR u razumnom tempom. The walk is long and can be arduous but it is not a difficult walk. Šetnja je duga i može biti težak, ali nije teško hoda. Still, every day people get into trouble or end up having an experience which is far from pleasant. Ipak, svaki dan nevolje ući narod ili zavrssiti ima iskustvo koje je daleko od ugodnog. The most common factors are: Najčešći faktori su:
People who never do any exercise and suddenly want their body to walk 16 uneven km without protesting. Ljudi koji nikada činiti bilo kakve vježbe i njihova tijela odjednom žele hodati 16 km bez protestujuchi neujednačena.
Bad shoes creating blisters and / or foot-ache. Bad cipele blisters stvaranje i / ili noga-boljeti.
Problems with the heat (in summer). Problemi s topline (ljeti).
Knee problems that develop during the steep descent at the beginning of the walk and have no time to get better once that original strain is over. Koljeno problema da razvije tijekom strmi silaz na početku šetnju i nemaju vremena da se sve bolje nakon što je preko originalnih naprezanje.
However if you don' t feel fit enough then there is an easier approach: the lazy way. Međutim, ako ne osjećate dovoljno stati onda postoji lakši pristup: lazy na putu. You start from Agia Roumeli and walk up to The Sideroportes (Iron Gates) which is the most narrow part of the gorge; you almost touch both sides of the rock walls at the same time while these walls rise 1000 ft up. Od početka Agia Roumeli i prošetati do Sideroportes (Željezna vrata), koji je najveći dio je uzak tjesnac; vas gotovo dodiruju obje strane stijeni zidovima u isto vrijeme dok se ovi zidovi ustati 1000 ft up. Please check boat times for Agia Roumeli before you set off if you are not part of an organised tour. Provjerite brod za Agia Roumeli puta prije nego je krenula ako niste dio neke organizirane turneje. The full walk is best done by organised coach trip as it is a one Cjelokupni je najbolje hodati obavlja organizirani izlet trener kao što je jedan way trip( the only way to leave Agia Roumeli is by boat there are no roads from here). način putovanja (i jedini način da napusti Agia Roumeli je brodom nema puteva odavde).
The best time of year to do Samaria would probably be April,May or September,October when the weather is cooler and the walk is less crowded. Najbolje doba godine za napraviti samarijski verovatno biti travanj, svibanj i rujan, listopad, kada vrijeme je hladnjak, a šetnja je manje gužve.
