Your experience

Step into 3700 years of myths and history

Walk through Europe's oldest city with an expert guide leading the way. From labyrinth legends to hidden royal frescoes, every step at Knossos reveals a new story.

Getting started

When you arrive at Knossos Palace, head to the main entrance for a quick security check. Show your printed or digital ticket and a valid ID for entry. During the busy summer months (June to August), you might wait around 30 to 60 minutes, so plan a little extra time.

Knossos Palace

The Palace of Knossos is one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world, famous for inspiring the Greek myth of the labyrinth and the Minotaur.

On this 90-minute small-group guided tour, you'll hear the real stories behind the labyrinth legend, explore the Throne Room where King Minos is said to have ruled, and see colorful bull-leaping frescoes that brought ancient Crete’s ceremonies to life.

With a smaller group, you’ll have more chances to ask questions, dive deeper into Minoan innovations like light wells and plumbing systems, and enjoy a more personal, immersive 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!

Goed om te weten

If you plan to use the audio guide app, bring your own headphones for easier listening while you walk around the ruins.
Choose sturdy, comfortable shoes with a good grip, because the rocky paths and ancient stones can be uneven and slippery.
A hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen are essential, especially in summer, since there is almost no shade across the Palace grounds.
Carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated during your visit, as there are no water refill stations inside the site.
Flash photography is restricted inside reconstructed areas to help protect the fragile frescoes and ancient wall art.
Large bags are not permitted inside the site, so it is best to pack light and avoid delays at security checks.
