Cosa aspettarsi

Steeped in ancient myths, Crete really is the stuff of legend. This family-friendly tour is bursting with culture and heritage. You'll be whisked back to the age of Minoan civilisation at the Palace of Knossos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit the Natural History Museum. And there's also free time to explore Crete's capital, Heraklion. Georgios, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The kids will learn everything about King Minos, Daedalus and Icarus, and the fearsome Minotaur.'

Knossos was the hub of Crete's Minoan civilisation and where the Minotaur lurked in his labyrinth. Your guide will give you the lowdown on the ancient myths and kings as you discover the throne room and more. As this tour is geared for the family, you're in for some fascinating mythological stories about Europe's first civilisation. What's more, your ticket contributes to the preservation of this heritage site.

The tour also includes entry to the Natural History Museum. Here, you'll learn about the types of dinosaurs that once roamed the island, and dig for fossils like an archaeologist. Georgios says, ‘The kids will learn about Crete's flora and fauna, and the ecosystems of the eastern Mediterranean.' Afterwards, you'll have a couple of hours to wander around Heraklion, Crete's buzzing capital. See the Venetian lion fountain before some free time for shopping. Head to the open-air market to try local produce or end the day with a relaxing stroll around the Venetian harbour.

-Das Naturhistorische Museum ist nicht gut und somit überflüssig. - Der Erdbebensimulator, mit dem geworben wurde, war außer Betrieb.

Santorini Tour from Heraklion

The volcanic island of Santorini lies north of Crete. And this daytrip by fast catamaran is a great chance to take a close-up look at it. Curved around a colossal, sea-filled caldera that was formed by a massive volcanic eruption 3,500 years ago, it's all black cliffs, whitewashed villages and blue-domed churches. It's picture-postcard Greece.Once you're on dry land, you'll take off on a scenic tour, exploring many of the island's attractions and learning about its history. Explore a caldera-edge town, where whitewashed houses, cobbled streets and tavernas cascade down the cliff-face in steep terraces.You'll then have some free time in both Oia and the island's capital, Fira. Spend an hour or so snapping up treats in the quaint shops and boutiques. Or, visit some of the best lookouts to take photos – the views over the caldera are great. It's made for selfies.
