The Palace of Knossos, Knosos, Greece The centre of Minoan civilization and capital of Minoan Crete lies 5km south of Heraklion. The Minoan palace is the main site of interest at Knossos, an important city in antiquity, which was continuously inhabited from the Neolithic period until the 5th c. AD. The palace was built on the Kephala hill and had easy access to the sea and the Cretan interior. According to tradition, it was the seat of the wise king Minos. The Palace of Knossos is connected with thrilling legends, such as the myth of the Labyrinth, with the Minotaur, and the story of Daidalos and Ikaros.Knossos flourished for approximately two thousand years. It had large palace buildings, extensive workshop installations and luxurious rock-cut caves and tholos tombs and because it was a major centre of trade and economy, Knossos maintained ties with the majority of cities in the Eastern Mediterranean. 45 minutes

This was an absolutely amazing day trip with Panos. The trip to Knossos Palace was very interesting. We asked to skip the museum because we wanted to see more of Crete. Panos willingly change his plans and made the trip our own. Panos informed us about Crete’s history and current life. We have taken 8 cruises with many excursions and my husband and I agree this day with Panos was by far our favorite. I highly recommend him as a guide

Natassa was excellent at organizing three different trips from Chania for my husband and me. The first trip was to see the Knossos Palace, the archaeological museum, the Heraklion city center and, on the way back, a brief stop in Rethymno. The second trip was to see the Elafonisi and Falasarna beaches in West Crete. The third trip was to reach Hora Sfakion by car and then Sweet Water beach, Loutro, and the Marmara Caves by sea. Natassa promptly responded to our inquiries and sent a detailed itinerary for each trip. Yiannis was the driver for each trip and we were highly impressed with his skills on many narrow roads with tight curves up and down mountain sides. In Hiraklion, Kostas was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. We greatly enjoyed getting to know Natassa, Yiannis, and Kostas and they all contributed to a memorable experience!

Our family of four planned our own agenda for our day in Crete and we selected the five hour private tour and were so fortunate to be paired with the most amazing driver, Yiannis. He was so full of information and got us to each of our destinations on schedule. We took three other Viator private tours and were extremely impressed with the open communication and over the top service. Viator is the way to go and we will use them exclusively from this point forward. Thank you Viator and Yiannis.
