Knossos – Spinalonga – Agios Nikolaos (from the Rethymno Region)

Travel through thousands of years of history in just one day — from the world of ancient myths to Venetian fortresses and picturesque seaside towns.

Your journey begins with a visit to the legendary Palace of Knossos, the most famous archaeological site on Crete and one of the most important historical monuments in Greece. This is where myths of the Minotaur, King Minos and the Labyrinth come alive. Surrounded by legends and mysteries, Knossos offers a fascinating glimpse into Europe’s oldest civilization.

Next, we continue east to the beautiful town of Agios Nikolaos, often called the “Cretan Saint-Tropez.” Elegant streets, colorful stairways, charming cafés and the famous freshwater Lake Voulismeni create a unique atmosphere. Enjoy free time to walk through the town, admire panoramic views or enjoy lunch overlooking the sea.

The final part of the journey takes us on a boat trip to the legendary island of Spinalonga. Once a Venetian fortress and later one of Europe’s last leper colonies, this island tells dramatic stories of survival, isolation and hope. Together with your guide, you will explore this unforgettable place while enjoying spectacular views where mountains meet the sea.

This tour is suitable for both adults and children and combines mythology, history, nature and beautiful landscapes in one unforgettable day.
