Description
Knossos is the heart of the Minoan civilisation, the first civilization in Europe. The religious complex / palace used to be a thriving city in 2000BC. I will transfer you from Chania to Knossos at Heraklio with 1-2 stops for 2, 5 hours, visit Knossos and then drive to the archaeological museum. You will spend an hour at each place, then walk at Heraklio pedestrianised center and visit a few landmarks. We will have lunch for an hour and then drive back to Chania for around 2, 5 hours.
I am not licenced to guide inside Knossos. I could try optionally to book a guide, but due to their limited numbers and number of requests it is very difficult to find one. Please message me for such request.
