Knossos Palace and Archaeological Museum from Heraklion Cruise Pt
Overview
Step back in time and learn about Crete’s Minoan history as you embark on a tour of Knossos Palace and Heraklion City. Get picked from port (or hotel), join our private guide and see the ruins of the great palace, explore the legendary labyrinth, discover the regal Throne Room, and marvel at vibrant frescoes that breathe life into a bygone era. After our visit at the Palace of Knossos next stop is the Archeological Museum of Heraklion in order to complete the ''Minoan Puzzle''. Then, head back to Heraklion for a delightful city tour visiting the Venetian Walls, the Koules Fortress, the St. Minas Cathedral, and much more. A city that stood resilient against a 22-year siege, the longest one in history, a testament to its unwavering strength and endurance.
