In this episode of the Trip Anthropologist podcast, cultural anthropologist Monique Skidmore interviews the head of the Federation of Crete tour guides, Manolas Papadakis about the rich mythology and ruins of ancient Crete.

Take a wander with Monique and Manolos through the vast Palace of Knossos and then head below to the labyrinth designed by Daedalus as the prison of the Minotaur. Meet the gods and goddesses, the Bull and the Kings and Queens of this wonderful ancient kingdom.

As you journey through the site of the Palace of Knossos, learn from Manolas about the importance of Crete to the mythology, economy, and culture of ancient Greece, and its enduring legacy.
