Our
Location

Amnissos is a settlement from the pre-Minoan years, a port of Knossos with many references to Homer. It is well known that the appropriate choice of all ancient civilizations and especially the Minoan, of the location, for the founding of cities, settlements, sanctuaries or the evolution of myths, is very important and these places have always had a special energy.

The equestrian estate borders on the west with the river Amnissos (today known as Karteros) where, according to the myth, lived the AMNISIADES, 20 young nymphs, priestesses of the Goddess Artemis who protected the waters of the river and the forests of the area, because the river was the natural road link of Knossos and its port. Also, the priestesses were helpers of the goddess Eilithia, whose cave is located 500m east of the park and she was the goddess protector of the birth of children.
