Wonderful and Insightful - Akrivi really brought Knossos and Minoan society to life for us. She was knowledgeable and very friendly. I felt that I came away with a much better understanding of the palace than I could have achieved on my own.
I would highly recommend Akrivi as a guide. It was absolutely time well spent.

Wonderful Tour Guide Highly Recommend!!! - I was recently at the Knossos Palace and we had a small tour, but it was WONDERFUL. Our tour guide, Marina, gave a detailed and interesting tour complete with a positive outlook on an advanced culture. We paid 50 € for two people, and only had four total people on the tour. The other two people were friendly and we had a blast! I can’t thank our tour guide enough, and she made it unforgettable. It was a fun outlook on History. She told us she gave tours in English, Greek, Swedish, and German. I HIGHLY SUGGEST you do this. If you do, ask for Marina!
