DESCRIPTION
Knossos is the most famous landmark in Crete and a must-see for anyone visiting the island. This archaeological site was once the center of the powerful Minoan civilization, one of the greatest in the ancient world. The entrances are included in the price.
Exploring Knossos, we learn about the Minoans through its ruins, legends, and history. The site includes a small palace, rooms with murals, royal tombs, and a grand mansion. The palace’s maze-like corridors inspired the myth of the Labyrinth, where the Minotaur was said to live. Its impressive design, rare materials, advanced construction, and drainage system make Knossos one of the most remarkable places in Crete.
After Knossos, we will visit the Archaeological Museum, which it was recently renovated. It features traditional architecture and showcases valuable artifacts from Crete’s ancient past.
A walk through Heraklion is a great way to end the day. Visitors can explore modern shops, enjoy coffee or lunch in local restaurants, or admire the city’s beautiful medieval buildings.
