Private Tour: First Entrance Knossos Fully Guided Tour with Tickets Included

Let our local expert guide take you back to the wattle and daub village that once was. Enter the world through the material culture left behind - a bevy of archaeological remains, knives and arrowheads, animal and human figurines used in daily worship. Travel through the centuries via expert storytelling and your imagination coupled with the physical remnants of palaces and residences excavated to the present day. Learn of the rites and rituals as you pass through thousands of years of history. Touch on the various well-known myths surrounding key figures in Greek mythology - including Minos, the famed King who once resided in the Cretian palace at Knossos. Pause in the Roman period when the city fell to Roman rule and became the prototype of a conquered Roman city - and hear of the discoveries still awaiting excavation.

As you draw closer to the present, learn of another Minos, the ametuer archeologist and local Creteian who rediscovered the city in 1878. As you walk along the ancient ruins, the city and its people will come to life once again.
