Knossos in 3D

The past meets the present on this unique, full-day tour of legendary Knossos. Begin with a two-hour scenic motorcoach ride to this city of antiquity, once the social, political and spiritual center of Minoan culture and the seat of the legendary King Minos. Your walking tour takes you through the palace's many maze-like hallways, through secret rooms and passageways, and gives great insight into the ancient world. To enhance your visit, you will be provided with a QR code, which you can scan with your own tablet or smart phone, to access an Augmented Reality experience of Knossos. This innovative tool allows visitors to view virtual reconstructions of the archaeological site as it once stood thousands of years ago. Upon scanning, you will simply need to accept cookies-just as you would for any other website accessed via mobile devices. On your return, stop in Heraklion town for free time to explore Venizelou Square surrounded by boutiques and souvenir shops. Continue on to port at the end of this fascinating day.
