where in the mediterranean sea is knossos located
The Location of Knossos Mediterranean Sea. Knossos is located on the northern coast of Crete, in fertile lowlands near present-day Iraklion. Knossos is approximately five kilometers inland in the Kairatos river valley, and is hidden from the sea by low hills (Roberts, 1979). Knossos is close enough to the sea to realize how easily it would have been to import and export via ships. There is evidence that Knossos traded with mainland Greece, which is not an incredible distance from Crete.
Geography of the Mediterranean Sea The Mediterranean Sea is a very large sea that is bounded by Europe, Africa and Asia and stretches from the Strait of Gibraltar on the west to the Dardanelles and the Suez Canal on the east.
