About Knossos Palace:  Knossos Palace in Crete is the most important site of the Minoan civilization, often called Europe’s first advanced society. It offers a rare glimpse into sophisticated Bronze Age architecture and art, with vivid frescoes and complex structures. Closely tied to the myth of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth, it blends archaeology with mythology, making it a unique cultural experience.

About HMU Campus:  The oldest habit for HMU visitors?  Wandering our campus like modern-day explorers. Swing by the library (yes, we still use books!), stroll through our botanical park (plants that mind their own business), break a sweat at the sports center, peek into our dorms (student life in the wild)... and that’s just the beginning. One visit, and you'll feel like you've seen all of Crete—without even leaving the campus.
