Firstly, our tour guide Akrivi was a gem of a tour guide and I highly recommend her! The combination of Greek mythology, real world archaeology, history, and sociology made the tour dynamic, interesting, and engaging! The Prince of Lillies fresco was amazing! The vivid detail of the Minoan ruins combined with the guided tour truly makes the tour come to life! I recommend going earlier in the summer months (April-May) as there were not that many people and the weather was good. Also, the lines at the site were very minimal and we got to visit everything and take lots of photos. I grew up reading about Greek mythology through Percy Jackson novels so learning about how Greek mythology, history, and archaeology intersect was a great experience!
