A Full Day Adventure in Knossos

It's almost a rule—when in Heraklion, Crete, visiting Knossos with its iconic Minoan palace is a must! It's the place where everything began.

After exploring the site, treat your taste buds to the flavours of Minoan cuisine! Right next to Knossos, you'll find Pasiphae Restaurant, serving dishes inspired by the recipes of Minoan Crete, including the famous Minoan souvlaki—just as King Minos enjoyed it.

In the afternoon, equipped with the necessary gear, embark on a thrilling journey through the Knossano or Agia Irini Gorge. The 2.5-hour trek offers glimpses of rare Cretan flora and fauna, adding another layer of adventure to your day.
