In the capital of the Minoan civilization.

The Palace of Knossos is the archaeological jewel of Crete and has been at the top of the list of preferences throughout the years of Crete's tourist history. As you visit the Palace of Knossos, you travel to the depths of European history. The oldest civilization in Europe awaits you to explore and become a part of it, the legends of King Minos and the Minotaur and the works of art of the palace continue to inspire awe to this day. In the continuation of our excursion we will take a short break to meet a serious chapter of Cretan gastronomy.

Experience the art of olive oil production, indulge in flavorful tastings, and savor the fusion of freshly pressed olive oils with authentic Cretan delicacies. For the end, we reserve our visit to one of the most important museums in Europe, the archaeological museum of Heraklion. The complex structures, cultural reach and mythic echoes of this civilization are brought to life. The important collections of historical times are also described in this guide, as they represent the creative side of Crete as part of the Greek and then the Roman worlds.
