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.

Next, we continue east to the beautiful town of Agios Nikolaos, often called the \u201cCretan Saint-Tropez.\u201d Elegant streets, colorful stairways, charming caf\u00e9s and the famous freshwater Lake Voulismeni create a unique atmosphere.
