Cosa aspettarsi

Considerato la culla della prima civiltà europea, il Palazzo di Cnosso, classificato dall'UNESCO, è uno dei siti antichi più importanti di Creta. Lasciate che un esperto vi faccia rivivere la storia mentre esplorate il gioiello archeologico più prezioso dell'isola. Questo viaggio include anche del tempo libero nelle località di Rethymnon e un tour della capitale cretese, Heraklion. Andreas, una delle nostre esperte guide locali, dice: "I Minoici erano molto avanzati e il Palazzo di Cnosso mostra tecniche architettoniche come edifici a più piani e un sofisticato sistema di drenaggio che erano in anticipo sui tempi".

Inizierete la mattinata nel labirinto di strade colorate di Rethymno, dove potrete curiosare nei negozi, trovare un piccolo caffè o scendere al porto. Curvando intorno alla piccola baia, il porto di Rethymno è tanto bello quanto antico. La vista sulla Fortezza di epoca veneziana e sul mare è incantevole. La prossima tappa è la capitale di Creta, Heraklion. Qui si potrà assistere a una visita guidata dei luoghi più belli della città, come la fontana del leone veneziano e la loggia. Avrete anche del tempo libero per esplorare la città a vostro piacimento.

Infine, l'ultima tappa della giornata è la visita guidata al Palazzo di Cnosso. Ammirate tesori come la sala del trono, gli appartamenti reali e i favolosi affreschi. Particolarmente impressionanti sono gli antichi affreschi, che raffigurano scene di vita quotidiana, rituali religiosi e creature mitiche. Potrete anche sperimentare il Labirinto, dove secondo la leggenda si aggirava la temibile creatura metà uomo e metà toro nota come Minotauro.

    Intressant tour i Knossos. Bra och intressant berättat av guiden så vi hängde med, trots att engelska inte är vårt modersmål. Rethymnon kunde man kunna få en lite längre stund i.

    Stevig gevulde dag. De 2 uur vrije tijd in Heraklion was precies lopen in een mierennest... Dit was voor ons niet zo'n zinvol deel van de dag. Al bij al een deugddoende excursie met een schitterende begeleiding.

    Knossos was very hot and there could have been more opportunities for shaded sitting down at the palace . The guide Martha was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history . She made the experience so fascinating.

Family tour to the mountains of Crete with Mythological Park

This action-packed day brings the essence of Crete to life for all the family. Discover Greek mythology as you explore scenic mountain trails on an off-road adventure leading to the Lassithi plateau. There's a chance to have a go at making ceramics and a visit to the Mythological Park, too. Katerina, one of our expert local guides, enthusiastically says, ‘Lassithi plateau is a personal favourite on this tour. You'll be greeted by the sight of dozens of windmills that dot the landscape. They were built in the 19th century to grind grain, and are now a symbol of the region.'Kick off on a trail which climbs into the mountains to reach the first stop at the Aposelimi dam. From here we'll make our way to a viewpoint where we can see across the Lassithi plateau, a high, fertile plain that legend states was the birthplace of Zeus.Rumbling down to the plateau, we'll head to a ceramics workshop and olive oil producer. It's a fun stop for the kids who will have plenty of time to have a go at making their own pottery creations. Next up is the Mythological park, where you'll find out all about ancient Greek myths - the special lighting and sound effects alongside the audio tour make the park enjoyable for all ages. Round off the day with a late lunch in a taverna, before calling in at the village of Krassi, which is famous for a 2,000-year old plane tree and has a natural spring water source.
