The perfect blend of history, mythology, and natural beauty!
Recognized as Europe’s oldest city, Knossos is arguably a must-visit place for history buffs and mythology enthusiasts! From Heraklion, you’ll head off on a 4-km drive to nearby Knossos, the center of the Minoan civilization and largest Bronze age archaeological site in Crete. At Knossos, you’ll join an expert private guide who will introduce you to the fascinating history of the Minoans, reveal you everything about the myths associated with Knossos, and show you the ruined remains of the ancient civilization.
After you have travelled back in time to the time of King Minos, you will be transferred to Heraklion. There, you will stroll through the alleys of the old town before your footsteps lead you to the Heraklion Museum. Covering 5,000 years of the island’s history, the Heraklion Museum (one of the most visited museums in Greece) is the ultimate place to delve into Minoan culture and art. Trust us, you’re going to be enchanted by the exhibits and the history behind them!
