Itinerary
Our journey begins at the number one sightseeing destination in Crete and one of the most significant heritage sites in Greece—Knossos Palace, home to Europe's first advanced civilization. We can arrange a private guide who speaks your language at an additional cost, depending on availability, or you can join a group to share a guide or explore the Palace on your own with or without audio guide. However, having a guide at Knossos is highly recommended to fully engage yourself both mentally and spiritually in this legendary era.

About Heraklion
Heraklion, the largest city on Crete, is a Venetian-walled port near Knossos, the Minoan palace, and the museum that holds its treasures.
Heraklion is the capital and main port of Crete, wrapped in Venetian walls and bastions of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Koules fortress guards the old harbour mouth, and Lions Square has the Morosini Fountain, held up by four stone lions. Nikos Kazantzakis, the author of Zorba the Greek, is buried on the Martinengo bastion under a simple wooden cross.
Top-ranked sights in Heraklion: Palace of Knossos, Malia, Kera Kardiotissa Monastery.
