Overview

Knossos! What an enchanting place! This is simply a must visit site in Crete if history, culture, and myth are of any interest to you at all. Hire a guide to help bring the place to life. It is harder to get a true sense of the place without the guidance and knowledge of experienced guides. There is signage but it is simplistic and limited only sharing a fraction of what you're actually seeing and why.

A private tour of Knossos Palace is a great way to experience one of the most iconic archaeological sites in Crete with more depth and fewer crowds than a large group tour.

What To Expect

Knossos Archaeological Site

Knossos Palace – A Private Guided Experience. What an enchanting place—truly a must-visit site in Crete for anyone fascinated by history, culture, or mythology. To truly appreciate its magic, we strongly recommend hiring a professional Knossos guide. While there is some signage on-site, it only scratches the surface. A licensed guide brings the ruins to life, revealing stories, symbolism, and the fascinating legacy hidden within the stones. A private tour of the Palace of Knossos offers a deeper, more immersive experience than any large group tour. Skip the ticket lines and walk straight into the heart of Europe's first civilization. Your expert guide will lead you through a 90-minute walking tour, taking you back over 3,500 years into the world of Minoan Crete.Knossos is more than an archaeological site - it's a journey into myth, engineering, and ancient artistry. Let us guide you through it with insight, passion, and professionalism.
