Retken kuvaus

"Knossoksen palatsi on yksi Kreetan tärkeimmistä arkeologisista kohteista, koska sieltä sai alkunsa Euroopan ensimmäinen sivilisaatio", sanoo Veta, yksi oppaistamme. Hän on syntynyt ja kasvanut Kreetalla, joten hän tietää pari asiaa saaren suosituimpaan nähtävyyteen liittyvistä legendoista ja myyteistä. Vietät päivän kierrellen historiallisen palatsin alueella, ennen kuin jatkat matkaa pääkaupunki Iraklioniin, jossa sinulla on vapaata aikaa kulkea omaan tahtiisi.

Knossoksen palatsi oli Kreetan minolaisen sivilisaation keskus, jonka labyrintissa pelottavan Minotauroksen sanottiin lymyilleen. Opas kertoo Knossoksen palatsiin ja sen kuninkaisiin liittyviä tarinoita, samalla kun tutustut sen aarteisiin, kuten valtaistuinsaliin, kuninkaallisiin huoneisiin ja freskoihin. Ja parasta on, että tällä fast track -lipulla et joudu hukkaamaan aikaasi jonotteluun.

Sitten on aika suunnata Iraklioniin, saaren pääkaupunkiin. Näe 1700-luvun venetsialainen leijonasuihkulähde ja pylväskäytäviä opastetulla kävelykierroksella keskustassa. Päivän päätteeksi sinulla on vapaata aikaa kierrellä markkinoilla. Tutustu käsintehtyjen rihkamakorujen ja tuoretuotteiden kojuihin tai pysähdy kahville paikalliseen kahvilaan katselemaan ohikulkevia ihmisiä. Muita pakollisia nähtävyyksiä ovat Koulen linnoitus ja Agios Titosin kirkko.

    Knossos was the highlight of the tour although it is a very popular destination and it was very crowded. I don’t think it suits a large group like ours as you are shuffling single file through the crowds and often lose the signal of the guides audio. Quite often the guide in front was talking about something that the last of the group were minutes behind. We had a double decker bus and some of the group had been on for an hour before it picked us up the an 1.5 hrs to the first location.

    Bobi, our guide was absolutely excellent. The facilities at Knossus are not good and this wasn't explained until everyone has been picked up, it was hard to prepare. Also, lots in Heraklion is closed on a Tuesday, not a disaster, but again, helpful to know in advance.

    Guide was excellent, really informative and friendly. It was also great to have time on our own and explore Heraklion. Hard to fit everything in but a great overview of the palace. Coach was good and service pleasant

    Not enough time at Knossos palace at all! Our guide rushed us round and we kept loosing her and couldn't hear what she was saying if you got slightly out of range of the listening device. I was very disappointed that we were rushed round. At one point the guide advised us to just go in one room (not the throne room) take pictures and get out as another group was coming, the guide was more concerned about them than us! The Knossos palace is why we went to Crete! Extremely disappointed

Family tour to the mountains of Crete with Mythological Park

This action-packed day brings the essence of Crete to life for all the family. Discover Greek mythology as you explore scenic mountain trails on an off-road adventure leading to the Lassithi plateau. There's a chance to have a go at making ceramics and a visit to the Mythological Park, too. Katerina, one of our expert local guides, enthusiastically says, ‘Lassithi plateau is a personal favourite on this tour. You'll be greeted by the sight of dozens of windmills that dot the landscape. They were built in the 19th century to grind grain, and are now a symbol of the region.'Kick off on a trail which climbs into the mountains to reach the first stop at the Aposelimi dam. From here we'll make our way to a viewpoint where we can see across the Lassithi plateau, a high, fertile plain that legend states was the birthplace of Zeus.Rumbling down to the plateau, we'll head to a ceramics workshop and olive oil producer. It's a fun stop for the kids who will have plenty of time to have a go at making their own pottery creations. Next up is the Mythological park, where you'll find out all about ancient Greek myths - the special lighting and sound effects alongside the audio tour make the park enjoyable for all ages. Round off the day with a late lunch in a taverna, before calling in at the village of Krassi, which is famous for a 2,000-year old plane tree and has a natural spring water source.
