Palace of Knossos Guided Tour

After meeting your guide at the selected time at the Palace of Knossos, you'll begin exploring the ancient residence of King Minos. The palace complex consists of over 1500 interconnected rooms, reminiscent of the Minotaur's Labyrinth.

Learn about the legend of the mythological being that terrorised the Cretans thousands of years ago. Who imprisoned him in the labyrinth? What was his diet? Who killed him and how?

As you explore the island's mythical past, you'll wander through the chambers of the royal family, the sanctuaries, and the rooms that housed the treasures of Crete. The Palace of Knossos is the most significant vestige of the Minoan civilisation, noted for being the most sophisticated ancient culture in Europe.

A highlight of the civilisation's advanced development is the palace's complex sewage and water system. You'll also see the original throne of King Minos, which remains intact after 3,500 years. After fully experiencing the Palace of Knossos and admiring its frescoes, your visit will conclude.
