What To Expect

Knossos Archaeological Site

Step into the mythical world of the Minoans with a guided walking tour of Knossos Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Europe’s oldest city. Once the dazzling seat of a Bronze Age king, Knossos was a sprawling labyrinth of over 1,500 interconnecting chambers, royal apartments, ceremonial halls, storerooms brimming with treasures, and even one of the world’s first sophisticated water systems.Follow your licensed expert guide through highlights such as the Throne Room, the Grand Staircase, and vibrant frescoes that once adorned this four-storey marvel. Hear how the palace rose around 2000 BC, fell to earthquakes, and was rebuilt into an even grander complex that reigned for centuries as the political, religious, and cultural heart of Minoan Crete.Along the way, discover the myths of the Labyrinth and the Minotaur, the tales of Daedalus and Icarus, and the rituals that shaped one of the earliest European civilizations.
