Knossos Palace and Traditional Village Half Day Tour

Knossos Palace and the Minoans have fascinated me since I was a child. I remember reading fully intrigued about the mysterious residence of the mythical king Minos, the son of Zeus and Europa. Later through my Studies, the Minoan civilization of Crete became the area of my intense interest and specialization. With my Postgraduate Degree in Prehellenic Arts and Greek Mythology, I'd love to share with you my passion and expertise. Our unique Travel in time proceeds with a special visit to a Cretan traditional village. Let me introduce to you the authentic village architecture dating back to the 18th century, show you a unique Folk Arts museum, and take you to various local artisans' workshops. Explore ancient Cretan crafts such as basket weaving and sheep bells making, and let's explore the honey processing and production of Crete visiting a honey-making workshop. Taste unique local products such as extra virgin olive oil, local cheese, and thyme honey and get "in spirit" by the local "Raki" liqueur of Crete!
