KNOSSOS – PEZA – HERAKLION MUSEUM PRIVATE
Visit
the most famous and popular of all attractions on Crete, the Palace of Knossos.
Join your expert guide on a journey in the past, into myths and legends and
learn the secrets of the oldest civilisation in Europe, the Minoan. Enjoy a
guided tour of the historical site that covers an area of 22.000 m2, on 5
floors with 1.300 rooms and hear all about the legendary labyrinth and the
Minotaur, the half-human half-bull. This day brings history and legend back to
life and is a must see on any visit to Crete.
After
our visit to Knossos we reach Heraklion city, where we will visit the old
market in the town Centre — the Lion’s square — where you will have the
opportunity to shop around. We also alternatively offer a visit to the newly
renovated Archaeological Museum which exhibits original material from ancient
Crete.
The
old Market Street is still a place where the locals come to meet, talk and have
fun. As you are walking down the streets, you will grab the atmosphere of being
a local yourself and feel the buzz of Heraklion all around you. Our last stop
will be to visit the Church of Saint Titos, an important monument for the town
of Heraklion.
