What you can expect

Visit the most important Minoan palace on a full-day trip to Knossos Palace from Chania. Explore Heraklion city centre with free time, or pay a visit to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. Stop in the picturesque city of Rethymno on your way back to Chania.

After pickup from your hotel or a nearby meeting point, head straight to Knossos Palace, the home of various Greek legends and myths such as the Labyrinth, Minotaur, Daedalus, and Icarus.

Upon arrival, take a guided tour of the palace with your guide. Learn about the Minoan civilisation, and see what is believed to be the throne of the legendary King Minos.

At the end of your palace tour, continue towards the centre of Heraklion and enjoy free time to explore once there. If you like, you can use part of your free time on a tour of the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.

Once your time in Heraklion is up, reconvene with your guide and start the drive back. Along the way, stop for a break in Rethymno and enjoy more free time to stroll through the city’s streets. The tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel.
