Knossos palace🏺Archaeological museum Heraklion

Immerse yourself in the rich history and captivating mythology of Crete with our unforgettable excursion to Knossos Palace and Heraklion. Begin your journey with a visit to the legendary Palace of Knossos, once the magnificent capital of Minoan Crete and a thriving hub of civilization in the eastern Mediterranean. Delve into the mysteries of the Minoan civilization as our expert guide regales you with tales of King Minos, the Minotaur, and the labyrinth that once dominated these ancient halls.

Explore the intricate layout of the palace, marvelling at its blood-red columns and colossal double-headed axes that serve as poignant reminders of a bygone era. Learn about the fascinating excavations led by Sir Arthur Evans, which unearthed the secrets of this lost civilization and shed light on its enigmatic disappearance.

Afterwards, our journey continues to the vibrant city of Heraklion, where you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the bustling streets of the old town. Discover hidden gems as you stroll through labyrinthine alleyways, shop for souvenirs in the bustling markets, or admire the picturesque Venetian harbour dotted with colourful fishing boats.

If you're feeling adventurous, venture inside the Archaeological Museum to admire its impressive collection of Minoan artefacts and treasures. While parts of the museum may be under construction, there's still plenty to see and explore, ensuring an enriching and enjoyable experience for all.

Whether you choose to delve into the past at Knossos Palace or embrace the vibrant energy of Heraklion's city centre, this excursion promises a day filled with discovery, exploration, and unforgettable memories in the heart of Crete.
