Det kan du forvente

Paladset i Knossos, der er på UNESCO's Verdensarvsliste, menes at være vuggen for Europas første civilisation og er et af de vigtigste antikke steder på Kreta. Lad en specialist vække historien til live, mens du udforsker øens mest værdifulde arkæologiske perle. Denne udflugt inkluderer også egen tid på ferieresorts i Rethymnon samt en rundvisning i Kretas hovedstad, Heraklion. Andreas, en af vores dygtige lokale guider, siger: "Minoerne var meget avancerede, og paladset i Knossos viser arkitektoniske teknikker bag bygninger i flere etager og et sofistikeret dræningssystem, der var forud for deres tid".

Vi starter morgenen i Rethymnons labyrint af farverige gader, hvor du kan gå på opdagelse i butikkerne, finde en lille café eller gå ned til havnen. Rethymnons havn, der bugter sig rundt om den lille bugt, er lige så smuk, som den er gammel. Udsigten til Fortezza fra den venetianske æra og ud over havet er en fryd. Det næste stop er Kretas hovedstad, Heraklion. Her har du en guidet rundvisnig til byens bedste steder, såsom den venetianske løvefontæne og loggiaen. Der vil også være lidt tid på egen hånd til at udforske i dit eget tempo.

Sidst, men på ingen måde mindst, er dagens sidste stop et guidet besøg på Knossos-paladset. Du beundrer skatte som tronsalen, de kongelige lejligheder og de fabelagtige freskoer. De antikke freskoer er særligt imponerende og viser scener fra hverdagslivet, religiøse ritualer og mytiske væsener. Du vil også opleve labyrinten, hvor legenden siger, at det frygtindgydende væsen Minotaurus, halvt menneske og halvt tyr, lurede.

    Det var en meget lang tur, men samtidig en fantastisk dag, som bød på virkelig spændende oplevelser og seværdigheder. Vi havde en meget dygtig og vidende guide, som elskede at fortælle om hendes Kreta. Hun gjorde det super godt både i Rethymnon, Knossopaladset og og Heraklion. Men vi var afsted i over 12 timer og godt trætte, da vi kom tilbage til hotellet

    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.

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.

Mountains of Crete 4x4 sunset safari with dinner

Off-road adventures don't get more fun than this. On this evening tour, you'll buckle up for a thrilling ride through the Cretan mountains, taking in villages, landmarks and more. What's more, there'll be a traditional dinner at a local taverna waiting for you. Vaggelis, one of our local expert guides, says 'Lassithi Plateau was said to be the birthplace of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. According to legend, his mother, Rhea, hid the newborn in a cave on the plateau to protect him from being devoured by his father. It's one of the best places in Crete to grab a bird's-eye view of the north'.It all starts the moment you hop aboard your 4x4 and head for the mountains. You'll stop by Aposelemis basin reservoir and ancient Roman aqueducts, before following the path to the village of Kastamonitsa. Here, you'll be greeted with a tipple of fiery raki. Vaggelis says, 'After the grape harvest, the leftover skins, seeds, and stems are fermented and then distilled to produce raki, a tradition that many Cretan families proudly maintain'.You'll continue along the Minoan path, taking in the wildlife and scenery while learning all about local mythology and history. You'll stop for a glass of sweet, sparkling wine and admire Lassithi Plateau, as well as its iconic views. And once you've built up an appetite, you'll head to a local taverna for a traditional Cretan-style dinner with unlimited wine. Finally, as night draws in, you'll head back down the mountain roads, taking in the moonlit coastline and the twinkling lights of towns and villages.

Crete is the cradle of wine history, with its authentic country life and indigenous grape varieties dating far back to the ancient Minoans. Veta, one of our local guides, says ‘What I like most about showing visitors around on this tour is that they meet the local producers and farmers and hear their stories.' Over the course of the day, you'll taste locally produced olive oil, enjoy a typical Cretan lunch, and sip on regional whites and reds at an award-winning winery.We'll begin our culinary adventure at the Kriti Allios olive oil producer, set among olive groves to the south of Heraklion. Here we'll tour the facilities and surrounding groves before a Cretan olive oil tasting session. ‘Olive oil has been a Cretan staple since Minoan times. Archeologists have found evidence that the Minoans, the earliest Cretan civilization, used olive oil for rituals, medicine and culinary purposes,' adds Veta. After the tasting, there's a tasty farm fresh lunch to tuck into with traditional local delicacies.Next, we'll pay a visit to family-run Titakis Winery. Its wines have won multiple awards in the past decade, especially the Kotsifali reds. After a tour of the estate and the wine production areas, you'll taste four different wines, accompanied by breadsticks and olives.
