Minoan
Theater

Our visitors will indulge their senses to the beauty and greatness of an important era, that of The Minoans, which remained in history as the Pinnacle of Peace and Prosperity.
Their famous capital, Knossos, is decorated with wonderful frescoes full of cheerful colours, slender, young ladies and athletic men. The labrys and the bull, which they confronted in dangerous bull-leaping rituals, are the sacred symbols of this civilization.
Enjoy the journey to their colourful world…

Linear B is a syllabic script that was used for writing in Mycenaean Greek, the earliest attested form of the Greek language and at the same time the first organized writing in Europe. The script predates the Greek alphabet by several centuries, the earliest known examples dating to around 1700-1300 BC.

Pottery satisfied various needs of man’s daily life for some rudimentary utensils, using the most simple material soil with rudimentary processing and a little water that could turn it into clay and create works that can be said to have sealed the evolution of civilization.

We organized exclusively for Amnisiades Park a mosaic seminar for both young and old visitors, with the aim of getting to know the art of mosaic, creating small works of art with colored seeds and legumes.
