Retken kuvaus

'The Palace of Knossos is one of the most important archaeological sites in Crete because it's where Europe's first civilisation began,' says Veta, one of our guides. A born and bred local, she knows a thing or two about the legends and myths surrounding the island's most popular attraction. You'll spend the day watching history come to life as you tour the grounds of the palace, before crossing over to Heraklion for some free time in the capital.

Once the hub of Crete's Minoan civilisation, Knossos Palace sits in the heart of what's considered to be Europe's oldest settlement. You'll enjoy a guided tour around its treasures, stopping by the throne room, royal apartments, frescoes and more. And with fast-track access, there's no waiting around in queues.

It's then time to head to Heraklion, the island's capital. See the 17th-century Morozini Lions fountain and the 400-year-old Venetian Loggia – which is still the city hall – during a short guided walk around the city centre. We'll round the day off by taking you to the open markets for some free time. Poke around stalls laden with hand-made trinkets and fresh local produce or stop off for a coffee at a local café for some people watching. Other must-sees include the Koule Fortress and the Church of Agios Titos.

Knossos wurde Not gezwungen gebucht, da am Tag zuvor die Tour Oliven und Weine ausgefallen ist. Diese Tour wäre besser für mich gewesen, da ich gesundheitlich nicht fit bin. Zweimal laufen und stehen, in Knossos und Innenstadt Heraklion war einfach viel zu anstrengend für mich.

Es waren einfach zu viele Teilnehmer. Bei der Buchung wurde gesagt, es sind Max. 15 Teilnehmer. Tatsächlich waren es aber über 60 Personen. Mit dieser Menge an Leuten verliert die Tour deutlich an Qualität, obwohl die führerrin sie sehr bemühte. Hätten wir dies gewusst, hätten wir die Tour sicher nicht gebucht. Durch diese Anzahl an Personen war sie deutlich überteuert. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Walter Haberkorn

This was a really lovely day out. Obviously it's really busy and there's lots of pick ups and drop offs but still glad we did it and the time in the capital was great. The guide didn't pay attention and lost lots of us walking to the church. Luckily another person saw where she went and we eventually caught up. It was pointed out to her what happened but she was oblivious. Dispute this it was a good day and I'd recommend the trip to you.

Crete day tour with monastery, winery visit and cooking class

Crete day tour with monastery, winery visit and cooking class

A chance to delve into Crete's culture and eat like an islander. On this full day tour inland from Chania, you'll visit a winery in Alikambos, explore a historic monastery, and take part in a hands-on cheese-making class. Joanna, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘This tour is the ideal opportunity to taste Cretan olive oil and wine, and to try local food that you'll get to prepare during a cooking lesson'.After making your way through the scenic foothills of the White Mountains, you'll reach your first port of call – award-winning Dourakis Winery, a family-run business with decades of experience in winemaking and olive oil production. Enjoy sampling its organic Cabernet Sauvignon wines and olive oil before setting off into the countryside.Next, you'll head to the Monastery of St George. Set among sun-soaked olive groves in the village of Karydi, this early 17th-century retreat was restored after many decades of abandonment, though parts of it still retain a ruined air. You'll be able to explore the grounds and discover the remains of the old olive oil press. What's more, your visit directly contributes to the monastery's upkeep. Your final stop is Kefalas village where you'll partake in a cooking lesson to learn how to prepare a traditional dish. Then it'll be time to roll up your sleeves and have a go yourself. Prepare a meal using a recipe you can recreate when you get back home, and if you're feeling creative, you can even try your hand at making Cretan cheese.
