Overview of your Iraklion tour:

Get lost in the world-famous legendary Labyrinth of the Palace of Knossos. Wander around the stone-paved floors that 4000 years ago were walking the incredible Minoans. Get amazed by the unmatched Minoan art and their frescoes like the famous bull-leaping, the wonderful dolphins, and the beautiful "Parisiane" with her make-up. Join me on this tour around the remains of that glorious palace and learn everything about the amazing Minoans and how they put the foundation of the whole European civilization. Explore the Royal premises where King Minos lived, where the famous Daedalus invented the sky-lights, the first toilets of the whole world, but also ventilation, anti-earthquake, sewerage, and water-pipe systems in a vast palatial complex which extended in 210000 sq. feet and had up to 1500 rooms, spread all over its 5-storied buildings. We will also visit the center of Heraklion to enjoy the Venetian monuments, the castle, the churches of this "bustling city" and to have a great lunch!
