About this experience
- Take a 90-minute small-group guided tour through Knossos Palace and hear how Minoan myths, rituals, and royal secrets shaped Europe's earliest civilization.
- Enjoy a relaxed, small-group experience with no more than 16 guests, where you can ask questions, explore hidden corners, and get personalized insights from your guide.
- See the grand Throne Room where King Minos is believed to have ruled, the Grand Staircase connecting multiple levels, and frescoes depicting lively processions and bull-leaping.
- Hear fascinating stories of sacred bull-leaping ceremonies, the Palace’s underground storerooms filled with giant pithoi jars, and the dramatic collapse of the Minoans that sparked legends across the Greek world.
- **Fun fact:** At Knossos, archaeologists discovered ancient plumbing systems, including flushing toilets, dating back nearly 3,700 years, centuries ahead of their time!
