Discover the wonders of Crete with our Knossos Palace Tour—an exciting journey through history, legend, and local tradition. It’s the perfect way to explore the island’s most famous archaeological site and more.

We begin at the Palace of Knossos, the center of the ancient Minoan civilization. Over 4,000 years ago, the Minoans built this complex palace filled with art, color, and clever design. Your guide will share stories of their advanced society and explain why Knossos was such a powerful place.

You’ll explore the throne room, the queen’s chamber with its vibrant frescoes, royal tombs, and more. The palace’s maze-like layout is said to have inspired the legend of the Minotaur. Its architecture and even the ancient plumbing show just how advanced the Minoans were.

Next, we visit the nearby village of Patsides. Stroll through a farm of olive trees and herbs, and taste local favorites like fresh olive oil, honey, and homemade snacks. Learn about traditional farming methods still used today.

We end the tour in Heraklion, Crete’s capital. Walk through the old city center with your guide, seeing highlights like Lions Square and the Morosini Fountain. Then enjoy some free time—grab a coffee, shop, sample local dishes, or visit the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.

This tour blends ancient history, local flavors, and modern culture—all in one unforgettable day.
