About this activity

Visit: Knossos Archaeological Site, Knosos, Heraklion, Crete Greece

Knossos Palace & its Minotaur stands proud and domineers the outskirts of its capital Heraklion. Our professional archaeological guide is a must here, telling stories of old through the galleries and rooms of the Palace where the power and vitality of long ago is so strikingly present. The great Minoan civilisation was the first advanced civilization in the whole of Europe and the evidence is obvious through everyday working life. Knossos Palace is where we visit our King, to unfold hidden myths and legends dating 2500 B.C.

Knossos was the Royal Palace of King Minos and is wonderfully decorated with frescoes depicting lively scenes in vibrant colours. Discovered by Sir Arthur Evans who kindly brought this place to life.

The tour is followed by a visit to the capital Heraklion, where you have a time for shopping or for a lunch and visit Archeological Museum of Heraklion.
