The first attraction of the day is the antique Minoan palace of Knossos. It is the largest and best preserved example of Minoan civilisation as it existed only on Crete. In antiquity, Knossos was a large city and at its height it sheltered 100.000 people. It was the most distinguished city in Minoan civilisation. King Minos’ palace was in the centre of the city.

Nowadays, Knossos is the largest and most visited curiosity of Crete. Every year, ten thousands of tourists visit the largest excavation site of the island.  You will have a guided tour and the experienced guide will bring the past back to life.

After having visited Knossos, the trip continues to the beautiful Lassithi Plateau. This plateau is surrounded by impressive mountains and small picturesque villages. The absolute main attraction here is the Dikti Cave, where according to Greek Mythology Zeus was born.
