Possibly the best private excursion in Crete: Knossos palace
Most people know Crete for its great beaches and its unique natural landscape, with a flora and fauna like no other in Europe. However, a lot of visitors in Crete also come to the island to find the traces of one of the most creative – and mysterious – civilizations in the world: The ancient Minoan civilization.
The Minoan civilization was the first organized civilization in Europe. And unlike the neighbouring ancient Egyptian civilization, the Minoan civilization was not a majestic one, with god-kings and superficial monuments. On the contrary, it was a human-centred civilization, with a very high level of cooperation that penetrated all the social classes of the time. And its highlight was the Minoan palace of Knossos, an ancient masterpiece that is an excellent location for a private excursion in Crete.
When the British archaeologist Arthur Evans started excavations in the area in 1900, he would have never anticipated that, eventually, he would unearth the key elements – and the secrets – of the entire ancient Minoan civilization along with Knossos palace. The architectural and art treasures found in Knossos where vast in both historic and artistic terms, and, as it proved, the creative flair of the ancient inhabitants of Crete was so great, that for the next 35 years Evans would be constantly unearthing new and exciting ancient Minoan buildings and artefacts. During that period, he would become one of the most famous archaeologists of his time, due to his excavations in the Knossos palace, which became one of the most popular archaeological sites in the world.
As Knossos is in the southern outskirts of Heraklion city, it is in a distance of about 140 kilometres from Chania city, and a private excursion to Knossos involves a trip of about 2 hours from Chania city. However, as Knossos palace is the most known ancient Minoan site in Crete, and as you can combine the excursion to Knossos with a visit to Heraklion city, the trip worth every minute of it – especially when you can admire all the ancient Minoan treasures of Knossos and other archaeological sites in the newly renovated archaeological museum of Heraklion.
