‘The Palace of Knossos is one of the most important archaeological sites in Crete because it’s where Europe’s first civilisation began,’ says Veta, one of our guides. A born and bred local, she knows a thing or two about the legends and myths surrounding the island’s most popular attraction. You’ll spend the day watching history come to life as you tour the grounds of the palace, before crossing over to Heraklion for some free time in the capital.
Once the hub of Crete’s Minoan civilisation, Knossos Palace sits in the heart of what’s considered to be Europe’s oldest settlement. You’ll enjoy a guided tour around its treasures, stopping by the throne room, royal apartments, frescoes and more. And with fast-track access, there’s no waiting around in queues.
It’s then time to head to Heraklion, the island’s capital. See the 17th-century Morozini Lions fountain and the 400-year-old Venetian Loggia – which is still the city hall – during a short guided walk around the city centre. We’ll round the day off by taking you to the open markets for some free time. Poke around stalls laden with hand-made trinkets and fresh local produce or stop off for a coffee at a local café for some people watching. Other must-sees include the Koule Fortress and the Church of Agios Titos.
