Let's visit together my most favorite site in Crete and the most colorful town on my island! I started guiding in Knossos and Heraklion 20 years ago and, every time I step on their ancient grounds, I'm still fascinated by their amazing history and unique energy. Knossos Palace is said to be the mythical Labyrinth of Homer, a true prehistoric "city" of 22. 000 sq meters and the place where the oldest European civilization flourished some 5000 years ago. In Heraklion's old section, we will travel in time back to the 17th and 18th centuries visiting the most renowned monuments of "Candia". I'd love to share with you all about the Venetian and Ottoman periods of Crete and all about Heraklion's modern life. I will also take you to Heraklion Open-Air Market, which has always been for me a wonderful place to interact with local people and taste the various delicious products of Crete together with truly authentic local specialties in cozy family restaurants. Let's Travel in Time and Local Tastes together!

From Knossos to Heraklion town we can either take the local bus which runs every 10' min and takes about 15'- 20' min to reach the town's center, or I will be happy to help with a local taxi/s. The rest of our tour in Heraklion is a walking tour.
