Overview

Start your day with visiting the emblematic Knossos Palace.

This palace was built around 1700 BC and It is believed to have been the home of King Minos and his legendary Labyrinth, where he kept the Minotaur which featured prominently in Greek mythology

After your visit, you will have two hours to visit at your own pace Heraklion City and the Arqueological Museum.

You will be driven to “Amnisiades Park”, where its artists will be ready to offer you a Minoan Day Experience: you will make a stop in their unique kitchen, for some homemade bread degustation (with optional regional olive oil and aromatic oregano to give it a special taste), cretan olives, paspermia salad, and homemade ice tea with Cretan herbs.

They created an area of cultural activities, the Minoan Theater. Visitors will indulge their senses to the beauty and greatness of an important era with a 35 minutes dance and acrobatics performance that you will enjoy before going back to your hotel.

What To Expect

The Palace of Knossos

Our guide will lead you to the entrance. You can take the tour on your own or with a local guide (additional cost). The site’s architecture, intricate frescoes, and artefacts evoke a sense of mystery and awe, leaving visitors wondering about the life and rituals of the Minoans who built and inhabited the palace. Knossos Palace stands out in historical records not merely as a royal residence but as a vibrant epicentre for administration, trade, and culture. Its numerous in-house workshops were bustling hubs where craftsmen fashioned goods destined for trade across the Mediterranean. Adding to its significance, it served as a critical port city, owing to its strategic coastal location. This amalgamation of economic, political, and cultural functions renders Knossos one of Europe’s most essential archaeological sites.

Free time for lunch, visiting the city or going to the Archeological museum. The region itself is lovely, with stunning beaches to discover and a lively town, full of hidden gems from the Venetian period. Heraklion or Iraklion has undergone a significant makeover in recent years because of the city's increasing prosperity. Infrastructure works have included the redevelopment of the waterfront ( have a nice walk there ), improved roads, and a city bypass to ease traffic congestion and maybe the most important much of the historic center has been turned into pleasant pedestrian strips.
