Excursion Description
Knossos - step into the world of King Minos, frescoes and the labyrinthine palace that anchored Minoan Crete.
Knossos Palace is the crown of Minoan civilisation: frescoed rooms, the Throne Room, lightwells and ceremonial spaces that reveal an advanced Bronze Age society. With our private, skip-the-line service you explore the palace with an expert guide who links myth (Minotaur, Ariadne, King Minos) to archaeology. Then continue to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum whose collections bring the palace story to life.
