What you can expect

Enjoy a tour of the mythological Labyrinth with your own licensed guide who will guide you through Knossos, focusing on the highlights of the area and its most prominent features. Afterwards, the driver will take you back to the city and let you continue with your day.

Discover Knossos, the capital of Minoan Crete, considered Europe’s oldest city. Hear about the islands long history from your guide. Learn about the peak of the Minoan culture in 2000 B.C. Hear about the first palace of Knossos, erected shortly after the Pyramids of Egypt and the Stonehenge, and how the happy life of Knossos residents came to an abrupt end in 1700 B.C. when a catastrophic earthquake destroyed the palace.

Delve into the mythology of Minoan culture, and hear about the elaborate labyrinth built to contain the Queen’s son, the half-man half-bull monster called the Minotaur. Hear the story of Sir Arthur Evans, a British archaeologist who excavated and studied the Palace of Knossos for more than 30 years, so that today's guests can appreciate the grandeur and complexity of the palace and get a glimpse of the most important palace of the Minoans, Europe’s first advanced and highly sophisticated culture.
