I highly recommend visiting Crete and exploring Phaistos, Knossos, etc. there. The Minoan civilization that built all these places was the first advanced civilization in Europe. It’s totally surreal to walk around Phaistos when you keep in mind that people walked these exact paths nearly 6000 years ago.

Here is a picture I took there in December:
