What Can You Expect?

Visit: The Palace of Knossos, Knosos, Crete 714 09 Greece

The Minoan Palace at Knossos is arguably the most instructive Neolithic and Bronze-Age site in the Aegean/ Eastern Mediterranean (7000-1000 BC). The reconstructed remains give you a chance to experience the labyrinthine architecture of the Minoans as no other site can, and provide a wonderful backdrop to many vignettes to help appreciate the Minoan culture. What went on in a Palace? Were their ladies the mainstay of their society? What sort of health did they enjoy? How did they organize the production of their sort-after textiles? What names were their oxen called?
A myriad aspects – great and small – can be thus explored: enough to satisfy anyone’s curiosity. And yet .. we still cannot answer: what made them click?
Come and see what you think: take a tour round this grand and enigmatic structure.

Katarina was absolutely brilliant as our guide! She pitched it at such an interesting level for us to learn more about the history of Knossos! It was enhanced by her well prepared visual aids and passion for the area. Katarina is incredibly knowledgeable and a lovely person to spend time with! Thank you for an enjoyable visit!

Since I had booked during the off-season, I was the sole person on a tour with Katarina, who was very engaging, knowledgeable and very passionate about Knossos. She could answer everything, as well as provide her own insights and ideas. Since Katarina is an archeologist and site excavator herself, she possesses vast knowledge about the palace, and of the Minoans. A true tomb raider! Thank you so much Katarina!

Akrivi was so wonderful. She had so much information to give us. So much more than expected. The time went by so quickly and the tour was very long. If we had a question, she knew the answers immediately. Her knowledge was more than just about the area but also about the history of the rounding countries and their people.
