About this activity

Step into the world of Europe’s first advanced civilization with a seamless, expertly guided experience across Crete’s two most iconic landmarks.

Explore the legendary Palace of Knossos with a licensed guide who brings myths, kings, and rituals to life. Walk through the Throne Room, royal quarters, and ceremonial spaces while uncovering the story behind the Labyrinth and the Minotaur.

Then continue to the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, where the civilization is revealed in full, through original frescoes, artifacts, and masterpieces that once adorned the palace.
