Heraklion
Things to do in Heraklion

What really brought the great Minoan civilization to its knees? A spectacular earthquake from nearby Thera? Invading mainland hordes? The lost world of the Minoans has fascinated scholars for years. Come to Crete and explore the ruins of the palace at Knossos on a private Heraklion tour and perhaps you'll leave the island with your own theory. Meet your local guide and set out in the morning to view Knossos. This Minoan palace is believed to be the fabled labyrinth of King Minos and his mythical Minotaur. Restored by 20th century archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, today the ruins boast colourful frescoes that allow you to imagine the palace as it stood thousands of years ago. In nearby Heraklion (Iraklio) you can visit the splendid Archaeological Museum, featuring the world's best collection of Minoan artefacts. After your tour, relax with a glass of wine and plate of Greek metzes at a beachfront tavern - your guide can suggest the perfect place. Enjoy your private Heraklion tour!
