Back to newsA Cretan connection to the ancient Inca road network is currently on display at the National Archaeological Museum of Greece. The exhibition highlights the story of a figure known as "Petros from Chandax" (Chandax being the medieval name for Heraklion), who traveled the Great Inca Road, the vast Andean highway system built by the Inca Empire across South America. His journey represents one of the earliest known links between Crete and the Americas. The exhibition explores the full scope of the Inca road network, one of the most remarkable engineering achievements of the ancient world. Visitors interested in this cross-cultural history can see the display at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. It offers a unique perspective on how Cretans have long ventured far beyond the Mediterranean.
