What to Expect
Join us for a thrilling day trip from Rethymnon to Knossos and Heraklion City. After our departure from Rethymnon, our first stop on this excursion will be at Knossos, where the first Minoan palace was built on the ruins of an ancient Neolithic settlement. This palace is closely connected with fascinating legends, including the famous myth of the labyrinth and the Minotaur.
Our next stop will be Heraklion City, where you will have free time to explore. You can visit the archaeological museum, shop for local goods, enjoy a coffee, or have lunch in one of the many charming spots.
After a day of exploring, we will return to our starting point. This tour is ideal for history enthusiasts, families, and travellers who want to experience both ancient history and modern city life in Crete.
