go to the Natural History Museum of Crete (NHMC). It offers the visitors a unique chance of a rich experience on the natural environment of Crete and its distinctiveness, as it reveals from the ecologically and culturally complex landscape of the Eastern Mediterranean. There are realistic models of biotopes, animal and plant collections, as well as plenty of photo material, and you can discover the natural beauty of Crete and continental Greece. Forests, phryganic and maquis vegetation, marshes, caves, rocky and sandy beaches, mountain massifs as well as special presentations on threatened animals (sea mammals, birds, etc), are some of the topics of the permanent exhibition.Address: 157 Knossou Av., the road leading to the ancient palace of Knossos.
