Tour de antiguo Palacio de Knossos

6 h
Acerca de esta actividad
Deje su hotel Creta en autobús con aire acondicionado y viaje al Palacio de Minoan de Knossos, una de las atracciones históricas. El sitio original se cree que se construyó en torno a 1900 AC, pero, después de un terremoto, fue reconstruido a una gran escala y los lujosos cuartos reales, los santuarios, los tesoros y los almacenes se han añadido alrededor del Tribunal Central.
Después de pagar el precio de la entrada, diríjase al interior y explore el lugar reconstruido que cobró vida de una serie de excavaciones del siglo 20 en arqueólogo británico Sir Arthur Evans. Mientras camina, escuche historias y anécdotas sobre los días de gloria del palacio durante la época Minoica, una civilización de la edad de bronce que hacen de Knossos su capital.
La mitología griega se arraigo en la cultura Minoica, y el Palacio de Knossos aparece en muchos cuentos populares, como el famoso mito de Teseo y el Minotauro. Escuche leyendas y folklore griegos mientras explora las zonas del palacio como la sala del trono, hogar de frescos de las míticas bestias sagradas del Minoan.
Dé un paseo por el Tribunal Central y contemple lugares de interés turístico como la gran escalinata. Vea un impresionante fresco de toros enfurecidos, y explore los pasillos y callejuelas laberínticas que conducen a las habitaciones fascinantes como el Área teatral, un lugar que pueda haber existido una vez como un teatro.
A continuación, vuelva a su autobús para realizar el corto trayecto hasta el centro Heraklion. En la comodidad de un autobús con aire acondicionado, contemple atracciones como desde la fortaleza veneciana Koules, Fuente del león (Fuente Morosini) y la iglesia de Agios Titos en un tour por la ciudad. Escuche fragmentos fascinantes de historia sobre cada vista y aprenda cosas sobre la ciudad bajo el gobierno veneciano, una era que influyó en la arquitectura de Heraklion, y disfrutará de un breve descanso para el almuerzo (no incluido en el precio).
Después de ver los lugares de interés de la ciudad principal de Creta, su excursión de un día finaliza con un traslado de regreso al hotel.

Very nice, intersting place to visit, for sure if you like Greece history. The archeological museum interesting as wel. You have also about 2 free hours to visit Heraklion. The centre and the old port are beautiful. It was a hot day but worth it. Profesional quide.

This was a great tour. A long journey from Elounda but well worth it. The palace is really interesting and fills you with awe at what the Minoans achieved. Our guide, Katerina was superb, she had a great depth of knowledge and love for her subject combined with good humour. The visit to the museum was also spectacular and again quite humbling to see the skill of the Minoans and the beauty of their work. We had a couple of hours to see Heraklion which was a fascinating contrast to the area in which we were staying. Also recommend the cafe at back of the museum. All in all a fabulous day!

If you're heading to Greece and specifically Crete, this is a must-see. I did a similar tour 40 years ago yikes! and wanted to see Knossos again on a recent trip with my husband. The history of the Minoan civilization and their culture is fascinating and the art and artifacts are breath-taking. It is very important to have a tour guide while seeing the Palace of Knossos and the Museum in order to understand the history. The guide was so knowledgeable and gave us such insight into the lives and culture of this incredible civilization.

It was a hot day when we went on July 1, 2017, but it was worth the heat and humidity. The tour guide was quite knowledgeable and explained everything in English and for the six others in Russian. To be there and see the ruins was incredible. You can bring water inside with you and I highly recommend that you do! There's little shade. If you or anyone with you who has difficulty getting around, this is NOT for them! No wheelchair access whatsoever and the terrain is uneven with rocks. The second part wasn't so much a tour of Heraklion as the bus parked and the guide just let everyone roam around on their own. I was expecting SOME information about the city's history but didn't get any. We took the option at Knossos to pay for the Palace and the museum for one euro more for 16 total per person. We found that to be a deal. Our same tour guide met us at the entrance and showed us the highlights. Unfortunately, he gravitated to the Russian tourists and spent the majority of the time with four of them and less with the approximately 20 English speaking tourists. This didn't go unnoticed by just about everyone. This would be my biggest complaint. My husband was more upset by his obvious bias against Americans with snide remarks every now and then, trying to joke it off. In the end, I do recommend this tour but hopefully you get a different tour guide. We dropped ours off at his home since he lives in Heraklion.

We had a nice time on July 1st. I'm 80 years old and in pretty good health, but my 82 year old husband wouldn't have been able to get around at all. People with bad knees or a walker aren't able to get around very well at all. The tour guide was a little bit more friendly with the Russian tourists than the English speaking people, and seemed to especially not care for Americans. We took a tour of the city by ourselves and then went to the museum. I found it very interesting and glad I went. I hope you enjoy this tour too. Don't forget to bring water!

I felt we were short changed a little - the Russian's had a dedicated tour guide, we as English Speakers and the German speakers had to share a guide - difficult for the guide and less time with each group to talk about the Palace and the items at the Museum compared to the Russians. There was very little time for us to look at other parts of the site. In future I think I would prefer to have a more personalised tour than go in a big group.
