... and we had about one hour before the ship was scheduled to sail at 8 pm. Sandra was nursing a cold (blame the bus air conditioning), so she headed back to the ship with David and Holly while the rest of us strolled the shops that were still open.

Luckily, it just so happened that after we had a bite to eat and set off on the search again we found the hotel! Geez!

For comfort we recaived a £4.- voucher which we later spend on some lovely Marks &amp; Spencer's salads &amp; chocolate mouse =p.

Knossos is the supposed "palace" of mythical King Minos, whose name became the name of the civilization associated first with the site, the Minoans. They flourished in Knossos from about 2000BCE to 1600BCE, through earthquakes and fires and possible invasions. Eventually, they were subsumed by the Mycenaeans, either ...
