Knossos Palace Tour from Chania – Explore Crete’s Minoan Wonder

Overview

Start your day with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Chania and travel comfortably across Crete in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle for about two hours.

Visit the iconic Knossos Palace, the largest Minoan archaeological site in Crete and one of the most important ancient sites in Greece. This experience gives you the freedom to explore independently, discover the ruins at your own pace, and spend as much time as you wish inside the site. Walk through the famous Throne Room, the Central Court, the royal apartments, and admire the reconstructed Minoan frescoes that tell the story of Europe’s earliest advanced civilization. Ideal for independent travelers who prefer flexibility and a self-paced visit.

After visiting the palace, you may optionally visit the Heraklion Archaeological Museum or the Cretan Aquarium. At the end of the day, we can also make an optional stop for lunch at one of our recommended tavernas or restaurants in the city, depending on whether you prefer meat or seafood.

Relax and enjoy your ride back to Chania, followed by drop-off at your accommodation.
