It was really slick: the way our luggage was handled on the ferry. Before we boarded, we loaded it into a big truck, which was then driven onto the ferry. When we arrived, everyone reclaimed their luggage to take to the bus.
Our day was spent in Herkalion, one of the larger cities in Crete. We were welcomed by an assistant mayor in the town hall. It's main meeting room is gorgeous, with three Murano glass chandeliers. Then it was on to the interactive center whIch allowed for fun while learning.
We toured the Palace of Knossos. It's known as the labyrinth, as there was only one way in and out. This was done to protect the king.
They had reconstructed many areas, but also had original structures.
In keeping with the mythology theme, we went to the cave where the Greeks believe Zeus was born. We had a wonderful guide who shared lots of myths with the students, then tested them later. They represented themselves well.
We are staying at the best resort that didn't lack anything. Many of the delegates took advantage of one of the two pools.
The palace sounds fascinating. Enjoy!
