- From the palace terraces, you can take in panoramic views over the fertile Messara Plain and toward the Libyan Sea as the commentary connects the landscape to the site.
- Listen to stories of legendary King Rhadamanthys and learn how masterpieces like the Harvester Vase and Boxer Rhyton were unearthed here and are now linked to this palace complex.
