Knossos :

Visit Archaeological site of Knossos- 1 Hour and 30 Minutes

Knossos ( also known as the Knossos Palace is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and probably the ceremonial and political center of the Minoan civilization and culture.

The city of Knossos remained important through the Classical and Roman periods, but its population shifted to the new town of Handaq (modern Heraklion) during the 9th century AD. By the 13th century, it was called Makryteikhos 'Long Wall'; the bishops of Gortyn continued to call themselves Bishops of Knossos until the 19th century.[1] Today, the name is used only for the archaeological site situated in the suburbs of Heraklion.

After exploring the sites, we will enjoy a nice lunch and drink raki in a traditional family run restaurant then we will return to the city center and you will have a free time to explore and shop.

After the tour we will provide a transfer to the harbor.
