Description

Dive into the heart of ancient Crete with a guided tour of Knossos Palace! Discover Europe's oldest city, known for its intricate labyrinth of over 1500 rooms, once home to Bronze Age royalty.

Explore the famed throne of King Minos, the opulent living quarters, and the advanced water systems that once supported this ancient civilization. Admire the vibrant frescoes and learn about the architectural marvels of the palace rebuilt post the 1700 BC earthquake.

Witness where storied ceremonies took place in the grand courts, a glimpse into the cultural richness of the past. Understand the series of earthquakes in the 14th century BC that led to the palace's eventual downfall.

This tour is not just a walk through ruins but a journey into history's depths. Book your experience today and step back in time in Heraklion!
