Knossos Palace and Your Custom Adventure
Overview
We begin our journey at Knossos Palace, the ancient kingdom of the mighty King Minos, where legends of the Minotaur and the labyrinth come to life! As you walk among ruins full of stories waiting to be discovered, you'll sense the spirit of an extraordinary civilization.
After Knossos, we adjust the tour based on your mood.
• Hungry for more history? Let's visit the Archaeological Museum!
• Want to explore Crete’s vibrant capital, Heraklion? We'll take a pleasant walk through its lively city center.
• Curious to explore a traditional village? Let's head to Archanes, known for its picturesque streets and charming architecture. It's also famous for its vineyards, making it the perfect spot for a local winery tour.
Want to do something different? Just let us know in advance or on the spot, and we'll offer you all the options to match your desires so you can decide where to go next.
One thing's for sure – we'll do our best to ensure you're satisfied throughout the entire itinerary!
