Knossos Archaeological Site
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Knossos is the main Bronze Age archaeological site at Heraklion, a modern port city on the north-central coast of Crete. The site was excavated and the palace complex found there was partially restored under the direction of Arthur Evans in the earliest years of the 20th century. The palace complex is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete. It was undoubtedly the ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilisation and culture.

Archanes
  • 2h
Archanes is a former municipality in the Heraklion regional unit, Crete, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform, it is part of the municipality Archanes-Asterousia, of which it is a municipal unit. It is also the archaeological site of an ancient Minoan settlement in central Crete. The discovery of ancient roads leading from Archanes to Juktas, Anemospilia, Xeri Kara and Vathypetro indicate that Archanes was an important hub in the region during Minoan times. Archaeological evidence indicates that ancient Archanes spread out over the same area as the modern town of Archanes. At this beautiful village, you will enjoy an amazing meal cooked with love and care at a local family tavern established back in the 1960s. Plenty of time to walk around the village and visit little stores or have an ice cream or a coffee.
