Der Palast von Knossos war super interessant eigentlich 10 Punkte Aufenthalt in Heraklion City war etwas kurz nur ca 50 min schade Und von Naturkundemuseum hatte ich einfach was anderes mir persönlich vorgestellt nicht nur ausgestorbenen und ausgestopfte Tiere und Dinossaurier Finde das sollten 2 getrennte Ausflüge sein vor allem wenn Kinder dabei sind die sich erst langweilig durch Knossos quälen um dann endlich zu denn Dinos zu kommen was ihnen wichtig war und sie dort ihren spass hatten
Steeped in ancient myths, Crete really is the stuff of legend. This family-friendly tour is bursting with culture and heritage. You'll be whisked back to the age of Minoan civilisation at the Palace of Knossos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit the Natural History Museum. And there's also free time to explore Crete's capital, Heraklion. Georgios, one of our expert local guides, says, "the kids will learn everything about King Minos, Daedalus and Icarus, and the fearsome Minotaur."
Knossos was the hub of Crete's Minoan civilisation and where the Minotaur lurked in his labyrinth. Your guide will give you the lowdown on the ancient myths and kings as you discover the throne room and more. As this tour is geared for the family, you're in for some fascinating mythological stories about Europe's first civilisation. What's more, your ticket contributes to the preservation of this heritage site.
The tour also includes entry to the Natural History Museum. Here, you'll learn about the types of dinosaurs that once roamed the island, and dig for fossils like an archaeologist. Georgios says, "the kids will learn about Crete's flora and fauna, and the ecosystems of the eastern Mediterranean." Afterwards, you'll have a couple of hours to wander around Heraklion, Crete's buzzing capital. See the Venetian lion fountain before some free time for shopping. Head to the open-air market to try local produce or end the day with a relaxing stroll around the Venetian harbour.
