Knossos Heraklion Museum, full day professional guided coach tour
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
This is where European civilization began during the era ruled over by the powerful King Minos. This is a place that simply and strangely disappeared, only to be discovered again by the English archaeologist SirArthur Evans. Now partly reconstructed, the blood-red coloured columns and gigantic doubIe-headed axes are a vivid reminder of this forgotten and Iong-Iost race.
Visit to the archaeological museum of Heraklion with artefacts from all periods of Cretan prehistory and history. The singularly important Minoan collection contains unique examples of Minoan art, many of them true masterpieces. The Heraklion Museum is rightly considered to be the museum of Minoan culture par excellence worldwide.
The final attraction of the day is a walk with your guide to explore the streets of the town of Heraklion itself. You will have free time for shopping in the vast array of shops and market or having lunch in one of the local restaurants.

As we travelled at the end of the season the shop was closed so we booked on line instead. The information provided by Tanya was excellent and even told us which side of the road we had to be on (bus stop seaside!) so no confusion as to where we were being picked up from. The trip itself was amazing and the guide was extremely knowledgable and managed time to go to the museum. We personally would have like more time in the museum but I know it's not everyone's taste but managed to see enough.CiprianRomania

I booked a trip to Knossos by EYE TRAVEL AGENCY and they established the meeting point very far from our hotel (1.2 kilometers distance). It was a misunderstanding of the meeting point and we cannot arrive in time. I called at the helpcenter and a lady told me to stay where we are (in front of Lytos Beach Hotel) because they will send another bus to pick up us. This was a lie, because we have waited in sun about one hour and half and nobody came to us. They cancelled the trip and they refused to give my money back. So, if you want good tourism services, avoid them.
