More than 3500 year old Minoan Road, the oldest road in Europe.

This incredibly ancient road stretches for 50km from Knossos in Crete; Greece, through the mountains to Gortyn and Lebena.

The road had side drains, a 200mm thick pavement of sandstone blocks bound with clay-gypsum mortar, covered by a layer of basaltic flagstones and had separate shoulders.
