Description
Start your tour in Lerapetra and travel to Heraklion for a guided city trip. Learn about the Minoan civilization, visit the archaeological site of Knossos Palace, then explore the city with a guide.
Your first stop is the famous archaeological site of Knossos, where a licensed professional guide will take you on a fascinating tour of the historic sites. The guide will captivate you with compelling stories about the rich history of the Minoan civilization and King Minos, the mythical ruler known for his wisdom and authority as judge of the underworld. Prepare to be amazed by the wealth of artifacts from the Minoan civilization still to be found in the region. Don't forget to take some photos of the Minoan palace and other sights to capture unforgettable memories.
After about two hours in Knossos, take the bus straight to the center of Heraklion. Enjoy a 30-minute guided tour of the city center (also with a licensed guide), followed by another two hours of free time to explore on your own. This is the perfect opportunity to visit the Historical Museum in the city center, do a little shopping or relax with a cup of coffee and a delicious lunch in the capital of Crete!
