About

Any lover of Greek mythology will find themselves lost in wonder as they walk where legends were created. The Minoan civilization lasted for close to two millennia, but what we may remember most is the tale of the Minotaur’s labyrinth.

Along with classical stories, with these Knossos Palace tickets, you’ll be able to walk the archaeological site and see the reconstructed palace housing the intact throne of King Minos, the first king of Crete. Knossos Palace & Archaeological Site tickets guarantee a history fix, and a fascinating adventure.
