The bathroom is
associated with the famous bathtub (right) in which Telemachus allegedly achieved his godlike form. Several hundred tablets
inscribed in Linear B script were found on the first day of digging in the site, near the main entrance courtyard.
These were the first such inscriptions found on the Greek mainland, and proved conlusively that the Mycenaean and Minoan civilizations had been connected.
A fire had destroyed this palace around 1200BC and the tablets were baked hard in the fire. The palace site is open in summer from Tues-Fri 8am-7pm, Sat-Sun *:30am-3pm; winter daily 8:30am-3pm; 3euros admission.
