Full description
Embark on a captivating journey by meeting your guide at the Cretan Spiti Travel terminal in Eleftherias Square, situated in front of Astoria Capsis Hotel at 10:30. Drive just 5 kilometers southeast of the city to explore the iconic Knossos Palace, a testament to advanced architectural techniques and a pivotal structure built between 1700 and 1400 BC. This ancient marvel, standing up to 5 stories high, is surrounded by Neolithic settlements dating back to 7000 BC, showcasing the enduring history of the region.
Uncover the remnants of the Minoan civilization as you traverse the extensive ruins of Knossos Palace, featuring 1,300 rooms connected by corridors, a theater, and expansive storerooms holding a treasure trove of goods such as oil, grains, dried fish, beans, and olives – often concealing gold beneath. Discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos, the site underwent thorough excavation starting in 1900 by the renowned English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans and his team, spanning 35 years.
Following the enlightening visit to the historic site, return to the terminal in front of Astoria Capsis Hotel at 13:30, enriched with a deeper understanding of the ancient Minoan civilization and the architectural marvel that is Knossos Palace.
