Experience Knossos Palace and Theatrical Minoan Era from Rethymnon

After your pick up, start your day with visiting the emblematic Knossos Palace.

This palace was built around 1700 BC and served as an important center for Minoan culture until its destruction by a fire around 1450 BC. It is believed to have been the home of King Minos and his legendary Labyrinth, where he kept the Minotaur which featured prominently in Greek mythology.

The site’s architecture, intricate frescoes, and artefacts evoke a sense of mystery and awe, leaving visitors wondering about the life and rituals of the Minoans who built and inhabited the palace.

Knossos Palace has inspired many stories and legends throughout history, but what do we really know about this ancient site?

After your visit, you will have two hours to visit at your own pace Heraklion City and the Arqueological Museum, and have a snack before we continue our adventure.

You will be driven to “Amnisiades Park”, where its artists will be ready to offer you a Minoan Day Experience: you will make a stop in their unique kitchen, for some homemade bread degustation (with optional regional olive oil and aromatic oregano to give it a special taste), cretan olives, paspermia salad, and homemade ice tea with Cretan herbs.

They created an area of cultural activities, the Minoan Theater. Visitors will indulge their senses to the beauty and greatness of an important era with a 35 minutes dance and acrobatics performance that you will enjoy before going back to your hotel.

An unforgettable day that will finish with the sense of living – even for a little while – within the first ever universal civilization.
