What To Expect
Explore magical sight you know from Greek legends and discover the secrets of Minoan civilization with our professional, licensed guide. Visit legendary labyrinth-palace home to Minos, son of Zeus and Europa.
Knossos Palace is considered to be the 8th world wonder and it’s well deserved. It is one of the most important artefacts of Minoan civilization. It was almost completely destroyed by the earthquake. However, the reconstruction in 20th century allows us to see now how it looked in its best days.
Knossos palace is located quite close to Heraklion, so we can’t miss the opportunity to visit it! You’ll see the “lion square” - the main square of the city with the famous Morosini fountain. We’ll visit the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion. See Venetian fortress, Nowadays, only walls remain there, however, behind those wall is hidden one of the main sights and the most famous point of the city - Heraklion lighthouse.
