Begin your day with a guided visit to Knossos Palace, Crete’s most iconic archaeological site and the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos. Walk through the ruins of this 5,000-year-old Minoan “city,” the cradle of Europe’s earliest civilization. After exploring the wonders of Knossos, enjoy a scenic drive through central Crete’s fertile landscapes, passing olive groves and historic vineyards. Arrive at a renowned local winery, set in a region with ancient winemaking traditions. Tour the vineyards, cellars, and production areas before indulging in a tasting of five carefully selected local wines. For those looking to extend the experience, an optional Cretan “meze” meal of local specialties is available at the winery. This tour blends rich history, natural beauty, and authentic flavors for a true taste of Crete.
