Knossos Palace - Private Tour Experience
Knossos! What an enchanting place! This is simply a must visit site in Crete if history, culture, and myth are of any interest to you at all. Hire a guide to help bring the place to life. It is harder to get a true sense of the place without the guidance and knowledge of experienced guides. There is signage but it is simplistic and limited only sharing a fraction of what you're actually seeing and why. A private tour of Knossos Palace is a great way to experience one of the most iconic archaeological sites in Crete with more depth and fewer crowds than a large group tour.
