Cosa aspettarsi

Il Palazzo di Cnosso è uno dei siti archeologici più importanti di Creta, perché qui ebbe inizio la prima civiltà europea", spiega Veta, una delle nostre guide. Nata e cresciuta a Creta, conosce bene le leggende e i miti che circondano l'attrazione più popolare dell'isola. Trascorrerete la giornata osservando la storia che prende vita mentre visitate il parco del palazzo, prima di passare a Heraklion per un po' di tempo libero nella capitale.

Un tempo fulcro della civiltà minoica di Creta, il Palazzo di Cnosso si trova nel cuore di quello che è considerato il più antico insediamento d'Europa. Potrete partecipare a una visita guidata dei suoi tesori, soffermandovi sulla sala del trono, gli appartamenti reali, gli affreschi e altro ancora. Grazie all'accesso rapido, non dovrete aspettare in coda.

È poi il momento di recarsi a Heraklion, la capitale dell'isola. Durante una breve passeggiata guidata nel centro della città, potrete ammirare la fontana dei Leoni Morozini, risalente al XVII secolo, e la Loggia veneziana, risalente a 400 anni fa e tuttora sede del municipio. Per concludere la giornata, vi porteremo ai mercati aperti per un po' di tempo libero. Curiosate tra le bancarelle cariche di ninnoli fatti a mano e di prodotti freschi locali o fermatevi a bevande un caffè in un bar locale per osservare la gente. Tra le altre cose da vedere ci sono la Fortezza di Koule e la Chiesa di Agios Titos.

    The guide for Knossos was very knowledgeable and the pace was just right, given that it wasn't very busy on the day we selected. The time allowed for on our own exploring at Knossos was just right. Our guide gave us a good orientation of Heraklion so that we could easily navigate for our own selected place for lunch (not included) and the archaeological museum.

    Knossos was the highlight of the tour although it is a very popular destination and it was very crowded. I don’t think it suits a large group like ours as you are shuffling single file through the crowds and often lose the signal of the guides audio. Quite often the guide in front was talking about something that the last of the group were minutes behind. We had a double decker bus and some of the group had been on for an hour before it picked us up the an 1.5 hrs to the first location.

    Bobi, our guide was absolutely excellent. The facilities at Knossus are not good and this wasn't explained until everyone has been picked up, it was hard to prepare. Also, lots in Heraklion is closed on a Tuesday, not a disaster, but again, helpful to know in advance.

    Guide was excellent, really informative and friendly. It was also great to have time on our own and explore Heraklion. Hard to fit everything in but a great overview of the palace. Coach was good and service pleasant

Family tour to the mountains of Crete with Mythological Park

This action-packed day brings the essence of Crete to life for all the family. Discover Greek mythology as you explore scenic mountain trails on an off-road adventure leading to the Lassithi plateau. There's a chance to have a go at making ceramics and a visit to the Mythological Park, too. Katerina, one of our expert local guides, enthusiastically says, ‘Lassithi plateau is a personal favourite on this tour. You'll be greeted by the sight of dozens of windmills that dot the landscape. They were built in the 19th century to grind grain, and are now a symbol of the region.'Kick off on a trail which climbs into the mountains to reach the first stop at the Aposelimi dam. From here we'll make our way to a viewpoint where we can see across the Lassithi plateau, a high, fertile plain that legend states was the birthplace of Zeus.Rumbling down to the plateau, we'll head to a ceramics workshop and olive oil producer. It's a fun stop for the kids who will have plenty of time to have a go at making their own pottery creations. Next up is the Mythological park, where you'll find out all about ancient Greek myths - the special lighting and sound effects alongside the audio tour make the park enjoyable for all ages. Round off the day with a late lunch in a taverna, before calling in at the village of Krassi, which is famous for a 2,000-year old plane tree and has a natural spring water source.
