Palace of Knossos Guided Tour

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

Learn about the legend of the mythological being that terrorised the Cretans thousands of years ago, including who imprisoned him in the labyrinth, his diet, and his eventual slayer.

As you explore the island's mythical past, you'll visit the chambers of the royal family, the sanctuaries, and the storied rooms filled with the treasures of Crete. The Palace of Knossos is the most significant remnant of the Minoan civilisation, deemed the most sophisticated ancient culture in Europe.

An example of the civilisation's advancements is the complex sewage and water system of the palace. You'll also see the original throne of King Minos, which has remained intact for over 3,500 years. Your tour concludes after fully experiencing the Palace of Knossos and its remarkable frescoes.
