    Crete, the large Greek island, is a place of many beauties and contradictions, carrying a history that was born millenniums ago but remains visible even today. Images, sounds, essences and flavors of the past satisfy the senses. At the place that gave birth to the unique Minoan Civilization, the “Cretan Thematic Park” offers guests the opportunity to get an insight assisted by modern technology and two dance theatre performances, while they enjoy Minoan flavors offered by Cretan products.The hall of “Cretan Thematic Park” is found near the largest city of Crete, Heraklion, in the town of Archanes, the center of reference of the Minoan Civilization, the first civilization of Europe that bloomed 4.000 years ago centered at Knossos.Showing respect to our cultural heritage, we inspired a future based on the values of the Minoan Civilization: love, respect towards nature, joy of life and creation.
