À quoi s'attendre

'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.

Great

Leuke activiteit ! De gids kon veel over de geschiedenis vertellen. Wel blij dat we niet in het hoogseizoen waren. Er is weinig plek voor schaduw en het was nu al best druk. Het was mooi om de ruïne te zien en hierna naar het museum in heraklion te gaan. Dan ga je toch anders kijken naar alles. De ruïne is niet tot slecht toegangelijk voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn. Heraklion zelf is wel redelijk toegankelijk en leuk om door te lopen.

Zeer leerrijk om deze excursie te doen en een aanrader. Wel eens kijken voor het ********** up uur aan het hotel want het uur klopte niet. Gelukkig gevraagd aan de hostess.

De gids was super, Knossos was fantastisch,maar de tour door Heraklion was erg kort en kregen weinig info mee over gebouwen in de stad.

Kleine groep dus weinig wachten omdat er minder ophaalpunten zijn. Geweldige gids met humor en ze was heel deskundig en goede verteller. Daarna tijd voor onszelf.
