Tour start 11:00am at the Knossos. Visit the Mythical Palace of Knossos of King Minos and Labyrinth home to the Minotaur. Knossos is considered Europe’s oldest city.

Heraklion Archaeological Museum

Tour start at 02:00pm (14:00 o'clock) The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is one of the largest and most important museums in Greece, and among the most important museums in Europe. It houses representative artefacts from all the periods of Cretan prehistory and history, covering a chronological span of over 5,500 years from the Neolithic period to Roman times. The singularly important Minoan collection contains unique examples of Minoan art, many of them true masterpieces. The Heraklion Museum is rightly considered as the museum of Minoan culture par excellence worldwide. The museum, located in the town center, was built between 1937 and 1940 by architect Patroklos Karantinos on a site previously occupied by the Roman Catholic monastery of Saint-Francis which was destroyed by earthquake in 1856.
