Knossos museum

Step into the heart of Minoan Crete on a journey where history, legend, and contemporary life beautifully intertwine.

Your day begins with a private guided tour of the legendary Palace of Knossos — the cradle of Europe’s first advanced civilization and the mythical home of King Minos and the Minotaur. As you stroll through its restored halls, vibrant frescoes, and labyrinth-like spaces, your expert guide will transport you back over 4,000 years, unveiling the sophistication, power, and mysteries of the Minoan world.

Next comes an optional visit to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, one of the most important museums in Greece. Those who choose to continue will encounter extraordinary treasures of Minoan art and craftsmanship — from delicate pottery and elegant figurines to breathtaking frescoes and glittering gold — offering a deeper glimpse into this remarkable ancient culture.

If you prefer a more independent experience, you’re free to skip the museum and instead enjoy leisure time to wander through Heraklion’s charming old town, explore its Venetian fortifications, browse lively markets, or relax along the waterfront with a coffee.

Afterward, everyone reunites for additional free time in the city to soak up its vibrant atmosphere, before being comfortably transported back to your hotel or original pick-up location.

Blending discovery, storytelling, and freedom, this tour invites you to experience both the grandeur of ancient Crete and the living pulse of modern Heraklion — a truly unforgettable adventure.
