The reasons ar unclear, but besides them the Hittite, Middle-Babylonian, Middle-Assyrian, Egyptian, Canaanite, etc, all collapsed as well in the same time period. It seems to be a mix of climate change, mass migrations of "Sea peoples" (perhaps because of mentioned climate change?), strange celestial occurrences that were seen as ill omens (a tablet from Ugarit describes a solar eclipse and some bad omens from the livers of sacrificed sheep), etc. For some reason civilizations in this entire region collapsed, and since the effects are so widespread it must have been something working on a global scale.
The Minoan Civilization on Crete, arose from about 3000 BCE. The Mycenaean civilization on mainland Greece, arose from about 1550 BCE.

The Mycenaean civilization of Ancient Greece took many of its cues from earlier Minoan civilization. It flourished in the late Bronze Age, but mysteriously collapsed and Greece did not experience such heights of civilization against for many centuries.Mycenaean civilization is described as the Culture of Bronze Age Greece.
There better artist. Apex,
The Minoans influenced their civilization.
The Minoan Civilization was earlier, identified particularly with Knossos on Crete, and was probably destroyed by the volcanic eruption and tsunami that destroyed what is now Santorini island. The Mycenaean civilization is identified with Mycenae and is the civilization that was created by the survivors of the Minoan Civilization when their cultural center was destroyed.
The Minoans were roughly contemporary with the Helladic culture. They lived on the Greek mainland and later developed into the Mycenaean civlisation, who would go on to conquer Minoan Crete and integrate some of Minoan culture into their own. There was also the Cycladic culture which lived on the Cyclades in the Aegean, and again is roughly contemporary with the Minoan civilisation.
