If there's one must-see in Crete, it's the Palace of Knossos. It's the island's most popular attraction. And for good reason – it's fascinating. This is one of our TUI Collection excursions, which give you a local flavour of the destination while showcasing its unique, authentic and responsible values.
Knossos was the hub of Crete's Minoan civilization and where the fearsome Minotaur lurked in a labyrinth. Your guide will give you the lowdown on its myths and kings as you discover the throne room, royal apartments, frescoes and more. You'll also watch a Minoan Show with a ‘Wine Harvest Feast' dance theatre performance, a 3D film on the palace's history and a drama dance inspired by the myth of the Minotaur and Theseus. And with fast-track access, there's no waiting around in queues.
Plus there's a guided walk around Heraklion, Crete's capital. See the Venetian lion fountain, the loggia and more before some free time for shopping or a harbour stroll.
