Knossos Palace, 2 hours of free time (without a guide):
The first stop on our tour is the ancient ruins of Knossos Palace, where you can freely explore the echoes of history at your own pace. You'll have the opportunity to discover the complex labyrinth-like structure, storied frescoes, and archaeological wonders that have intrigued visitors for centuries. This self-guided visit to Knossos allows you to immerse yourself in the world of the Minoans and uncover the myths and realities of Europe’s oldest city at your leisure.

Archaeological Museum (optional)
We provide an optional stop for those interested in visiting the museum on their own. Alternatively, you can choose to head directly to the town if you prefer. This flexibility allows you to tailor the experience to your interests. Following the footsteps of history, the journey continues to the vibrant town of Heraklion, where the Archaeological Museum awaits. The museum, one of the most significant in Greece, houses an extensive collection of Minoan artefacts, providing a deeper understanding of the civilisation you just explored at Knossos. Wander through exhibits displaying pottery, jewellery, frescoes, and more, each piece narrating its own storey of the island’s rich heritage.
