Meet your guide and private vehicle on the pier and set off to the Palace of King Knossos -- once the religious and administrative center of the Minoan world. You'll travel from Agios Nikolaos across the island to Heraklion to visit this renowned archaeological site.
Explore the labyrinth built to confine the fabled Minotaur, born out of the unnatural union between King Minos' queen and a bull. Legend holds that the king fed his enemies to this mythological monster until the labyrinth's secret was finally unraveled. Your guided tour takes you through the ruins of the palace complex, now excavated and partially reconstructed to give a better understanding of the complex labyrinth. You will visit the living quarters of the king and queen, the storerooms, potters' workshops and the theater.
Later, enjoy a brief stop at the main square in Heraklion before returning to the pier.
Capacity: 2 guests. Your private party may be of any size up to the maximum capacity.
Please note: Private cars are ordered per vehicle (not per person), so only one person in the party needs to order the vehicle. The price shown is the total cost for applicable entrance fees, vehicle, driver and English-speaking guide. In many destinations, the number of vehicles available is extremely limited, so guests are encouraged to secure their private vehicle reservation as early as possible. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
