Knossos in a Small Group

Where the European civilization began.

Visit the Palace of Knossos, the famous maze of the Greek mythology, with a Licensed Guide, in a small group of up to 10 people.

First of all you will visit the sites the best time of the day and distance your private guided tour away from big groups . You will enjoy a detailed perspective and you can ask as many questions as you like and will not feel rushed. Depending on your interests our expert guides will focus on archeology, history, art, and also mythology of the bronze age of Crete in both Knossos as well as the Archeological museum. Our friendly guides will provide you with the best experience so you will appreciate both of your visits to Knossos as well as the Archeological museum and your visit will be memorable . It is the biggest Minoan Palace of Crete, and lots of its architectural features were copied in the rest of the Minoan Palaces. The building is built around a big rectangular central yard, and extends towards every direction, multi-floored and quite complicated in places. Within its premises, different in use rooms and buildings were discovered such as: a vast number of storage rooms and hundreds of ‘pithoi’ jars in them, potters' workshops, stone carvers' workshops, metal makers' areas, shrines and temples, ‘lustral basins’ or purification rooms, a throne room with a marble throne, staircases and living quarters.
