Your personalized journey

Immerse in Crete's ancient tales at your own rhythm

Delve into the historic Palace of Knossos, the oldest city in Europe dating back 3,700 years. Customize your experience with optional guided tours, museum visits, and city audio guides.

Commencing your adventure

Upon reaching Knossos Palace, make your way to the main entrance where friendly staff will assist you through a brief security check. Have your digital or printed ticket ready for validation along with a valid ID. Anticipate a wait of approximately 30 to 60 minutes for security procedures, especially during the bustling summer season from June to August.

Exploring Knossos Palace

At the core of Minoan Crete lies the Palace of Knossos, a vast complex aged 3,700 years renowned for inspiring the myth of the Minotaur's labyrinth. Opt for a small-group guided tour to uncover the true tales behind the labyrinth myth, understand the ingenious Minoan light wells and drainage systems, and marvel at unique features like dolphin frescoes adorning royal chambers. Prefer a self-paced adventure? Select the multilingual audio guide to reveal Knossos' secrets as you wander independently, pausing at intriguing spots that capture your curiosity.

Heraklion Archaeological Museum

Discover a trove of Minoan art and artifacts at the museum, celebrated for its exquisite jewelry collection, iconic Snake Goddess statues, and the enigmatic Phaistos Disc that continues to intrigue historians. Enhance your visit with an audio guide to delve into sacred rituals, daily life in ancient Minoan Crete, and the captivating mysteries surrounding these extraordinary discoveries.

Exploring Heraklion city

Stroll along the impressive Venetian Walls, admire the seaside Koules Fortress, and relax by the Morosini Fountain nestled in the city center. Opt for the city audio guide upgrade to listen to tales of pirate invasions, bustling markets with merchants haggling, and the remarkable engineering feat of Venetian walls that withstood lengthy sieges.
