Description

Embark on an enriching journey through the cradle of Minoan civilization with our exclusive private tour to Knossos, the oldest city in Europe. Delve into the ancient wonders of Knossos, exploring its well-preserved stone paths and uncovering the remnants of a society that flourished during the Bronze Age. The palace of Knossos, the epicenter of Minoan culture, reveals its grandeur and the remnants of a civilization potentially devastated by the eruption of the Santorini Volcano.

Led by a professional licensed local guide, this meticulously crafted tour allows you to immerse yourself in the historical treasures of Knossos, including iconic landmarks such as The Palace of Knossos, the Little Palace, the Royal Villa, House of the Frescoes, Caravanserai, the “Unexplored Mansion,” the Temple Tomb, the House of the High Priest, and the Villa of Dionysos.

Commencing from Chania or any designated region in Crete, our journey to Heraklion unfolds amidst scenic landscapes. Upon reaching the palace of Knossos, the guided exploration sets the stage for a captivating experience. Subsequently, the tour continues to the heart of Heraklion, where you’ll discover the archaeological museum, offering insights into the vibrant Minoan culture. Ample time for dining and shopping ensures a well-rounded experience. Following a 3-4 hour sojourn in Heraklion, the return journey to Chania or any specified Crete region concludes this immersive excursion. Join us and unearth the profound legacy of the Minoans in the embrace of ancient Knossos.
