Embark on a magical journey into the realm of Greek mythos and delve into the mysteries of the Minoan civilization, aided by our expert, certified tour guide. Explore the majestic labyrinthine palace which housed Minos, the offspring of Zeus and Europa.

Considered the 8th wonder of the world, the fame of Knossos Palace is well-earned. It stands as one of the most significant relics of Minoan civilization. Although an earthquake nearly devastated it completely, a reconstruction during the 20th century remedied this damage, enabling us to witness its glory as in the days of yore.

Situated in the vicinity of Heraklion, the opportunity to pay a visit to the Knossos Palace is one we cannot forgo! Get a glimpse of the ‘lion square’, the heart of the city which houses the renowned Morosini fountain. We’ll also make a stop at the museum of Nikos Kazantzakis, one of Greece’s most celebrated authors. Further along, we’ll see the Venetian fortress - now reduced to walls. But these walls house the city’s main attraction and most well-known destination - the Heraklion lighthouse.
