Overview of your Knossos 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, like the wonderful dolphins, and the beautiful Parisiane with the make-up. Join me in this two hours tour around the remains of that glorious palace and learn everything about the amazing Minoans and their civilization which 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, sewage, 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 five-storied buildings. Later on, a walking tour in Iraklion to see the monuments but also to taste some of the delicacies of the Cretan Cuisine-the healthiest globally!
