The Kingdom of King Minos

I took a day trip to Crete well in Athens, would have like to visit some more of the Greek Islands, but as I said earlier I did spend enough time here...sigh. Then again that just gives me all the more reason to come back!

I took an overnight ferry from Athens to Herkalion, spend the day there and took an overnight ferry back! Yea I know, really fast but I got to know the ruins of Knossos and some nice small towns clost to Herkalion.



Bulls horns...rock on!



The famous tapering columns of the Minoans, seems counter-intuitive dont you think?
