Elounda to Knossos: A Journey Through History & Cretan Flavors
Overview
Uncover the soul of Crete in just four hours with a private half-day tour that begins where myth was born—Knossos Palace. Wander through the ancient ruins of King Minos' fabled labyrinth, where vivid frescoes, storied chambers, and millennia-old legends come to life before your eyes. This is no dry history lesson—it’s a step into the echoes of Europe's oldest civilization.
After Knossos, the choice is yours. To complete your experience, you can select one out of five carefully curated stops that highlight the flavors, crafts, or traditions of the island. Whether you’re drawn to a local winery, an olive mill, a raki distillery, a cooking demo, or a scenic village for a coffee and stroll, we tailor the tour to your interests. With private transport, a flexible schedule, and a deep respect for Crete’s timeless rhythm, this isn’t just a tour—it’s your own chapter in Crete’s long, layered story.
