Dit kun je verwachten

Het paleis van Knossos wordt gezien als de plek waar de eerste beschaving van Europa begon. En als een van de belangrijkste archeologische sites van Kreta heeft het een plekje gekregen op de werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. Laat een deskundige de geschiedenis tot leven brengen, terwijl je de meest gewaardeerde archeologische parel van het eiland verkent. Je hebt ook vrije tijd in Rethmynon en krijgt een rondleiding door de Kretenzische hoofdstad Heraklion. Andreas, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "De Minoïers waren zeer geavanceerd en het Paleis van Knossos bevat architectonische hoogstandjes, zoals gebouwen met meerdere verdiepingen en een geavanceerd afwateringssysteem die hun tijd ver vooruit waren.”

Je begint de ochtend in het doolhof van kleurrijke straten van Rethymnon. Je snuffelt er rond in de winkeltjes, strijkt neer bij een café, of neemt een kijkje in de haven. De haven van Rethymnon ligt in een kleine baai en is even mooi als oud. Het uitzicht op het Venetiaanse Fortezza en de zee is episch. Vervolgens bezoek je Heraklion, de hoofdstad van Kreta. Je bekijkt de Venetiaanse leeuwenfontein en de loggia als je met de gids door de stad wandelt. En dan verken je zelf op je gemak de stad verder.

Dan is het tijd voor een rondleiding in het Paleis van Knossos. Je kijkt je ogen uit op schatten zoals de troonzaal, koninklijke appartementen en de fabelachtige fresco's. Vooral de oude fresco's zijn indrukwekkend en tonen scènes uit het dagelijks leven, religieuze rituelen en mythische wezens. Ook bezoek je het Labyrint, waar volgens de legende de angstaanjagende Minotaurus – half mens, half stier wezen – op de loer lag.

Santorini Tour from Heraklion
Excursions & day trips

Santorini Tour from Heraklion

The volcanic island of Santorini lies north of Crete. And this daytrip by fast catamaran is a great chance to take a close-up look at it. Curved around a colossal, sea-filled caldera that was formed by a massive volcanic eruption 3,500 years ago, it's all black cliffs, whitewashed villages and blue-domed churches. It's picture-postcard Greece.Once you're on dry land, you'll take off on a scenic tour, exploring many of the island's attractions and learning about its history. Explore a caldera-edge town, where whitewashed houses, cobbled streets and tavernas cascade down the cliff-face in steep terraces.You'll then have some free time in both Oia and the island's capital, Fira. Spend an hour or so snapping up treats in the quaint shops and boutiques. Or, visit some of the best lookouts to take photos – the views over the caldera are great. It's made for selfies.

Full-day tour of Crete’s historic Knossos Palace and Heraklion
Excursions & day trips

Full-day tour of Crete’s historic Knossos Palace and Heraklion

'The Palace of Knossos is one of the most important archaeological sites in Crete because it's where Europe's first civilisation began,' says Veta, one of our guides. A born and bred local, she knows a thing or two about the legends and myths surrounding the island's most popular attraction. You'll spend the day watching history come to life as you tour the grounds of the palace, before crossing over to Heraklion for some free time in the capital.Once the hub of Crete's Minoan civilisation, Knossos Palace sits in the heart of what's considered to be Europe's oldest settlement. You'll enjoy a guided tour around its treasures, stopping by the throne room, royal apartments, frescoes and more. And with fast-track access, there's no waiting around in queues.It's then time to head to Heraklion, the island's capital. See the 17th-century Morozini Lions fountain and the 400-year-old Venetian Loggia – which is still the city hall – during a short guided walk around the city centre. We'll round the day off by taking you to the open markets for some free time. Poke around stalls laden with hand-made trinkets and fresh local produce or stop off for a coffee at a local café for some people watching. Other must-sees include the Koule Fortress and the Church of Agios Titos.
