Am vizitat situl cu câteva zile înainte de Crăciun. Nu erau mulți vizitatori, așa că am putut să mă bucur de priveliștea magnifică. Orientarea a fost absolut remarcabilă. Am descoperit multe detalii despre fiecare dintre obiectivele site-ului; toate cu un discurs inteligent, bine documentat și extrem de fermecător.

The guide was excellent. Good English, and very patient with questions. He knew the history of course, and also would talk about today's attitudes to the restorations that have been done. He had a balanced view. He proceeded at an appropriate pace, and the group was not too big (about 6 of us), so we could all talk to him. The ticketing experience was simple. We were contacted in advance and told where to meet, with a picure of the person who was going to greet us, holding up the sign. That was really helpful. The tickets werent cheap but I felt they were worth it. Some of the features of the site were shielded by glass, but reflection on the gas made it impossible to view the features behind. I'm sure this isnt Headout or the guide's fault. Can't non reflective glass be used, or screens?

The guide had unique insights that we wouldn't be able to understand without: with her we learned a lot more than we otherwise would. Your guide is your value!

Everything about the visit was incredible. Our guide explained the history in a very interesting and informational way.

Step into ancient Minoan civilization

With priority entry, head straight into Knossos Palace with your guide on a walking tour. This Minoan marvel, Europe's oldest civilization, is a labyrinth waiting to be explored. Built around 1900 BCE, Knossos boasts a throne room, royal quarters, vibrant frescoes, and a central court that once bustled with activity. Keep an eye out for the recurring bull symbol – a Minoan mystery your guide will help decipher. You'll also see the preserved frescoes depicting everyday life and Minoan rituals. Ascend the grand staircase, picturing Minoan dignitaries making their way through the palace.

Learn about the Minotaur

The giant storage jars hint at the palace's one-time wealth. In this intimate setting, your guide can answer your questions and bring the Minoan world to life. Legends whisper of King Minos, who ruled Crete, and the Minotaur he kept hidden within the palace's depths. You'll decipher the stories woven into the frescoes, like the Bull Leaper or the Dolphin adorning the Queen's quarters. Imagine the Minoan royalty holding court in the Throne Room, its alabaster seat contrasting with the mythical griffin frescoes. Ditch the guidebooks and join this small group tour – it's the perfect way to unlock the secrets of Knossos Palace!
