Description
The cupbearers and procession frescoes at the South Propylaeum depicting scenes from everyday life and the ceremonial activities in Minoan Crete are a great insight into the aesthetic ideals of the time. Follow the evolution of Minoan fashion, learn about the popular hairstyles of the people and discover the beauty products that they used to touch up their look.
At the West Magazines, where the storage facilities of the palace are located, you will gain an understanding of the well-organized bureaucracy that supported the palace organization, the earliest forms of linear writing, as well as the Minoan economy and trade networks. Discover the copy of the 'Prince of the Lilies' at the South Entrance Corridor and gaze out on Mount Juktas, perfectly framed by the eroded walls of the palace.
Visit the Queen’s Megaron decorated with the famous blue dolphins fresco and equipped with a bathroom and a toilet room where you will find out everything about the bath habits in the Minoan era.

Bom, com detalhes
Vale a pena, com alguns ajustes. Serviu para decidir onde voltar no resto da semana. Aproveitamos conteúdo digital offline (texto, narração em áudio e mapas) mais do que imaginávamos. Voltamos a Juktas no dia seguinte por conta própria. O ponto fraco foi o ar condicionado, que não dava conta. Nada grave, mas vale saber antes de reservar.

Perfect intro to the city
We came away delighted. Mind your footwear, something with grip is best. I have never seen anything like Palácio de Cnossos. Thank you for a great day out.

Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. Sacamos muchísimas fotos, el recorrido pasa por los lugares justos. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite Heraclion.

Correcto
Nos pareció correcto y bien organizado. Palácio de Cnossos nos voló la cabeza, no esperábamos algo así. Es una forma muy práctica de ubicarte en la ciudad el primer día. El punto de encuentro estaba bien indicado y fácil de ubicar. En hora pico el tránsito estira bastante el recorrido. Lo recomendaría igual.

Não poderia ter sido melhor. A passagem por Minoan Crete foi rápida e direta. Chegamos ao hotel mais rápido do que dizia a reserva. Que bom seria se todos os tours fossem assim.

Ideal para conocer la ciudad
Muy recomendable, sin vueltas. Cambiamos la fecha dos días antes y no hubo ningún problema. Lo de contenido digital sin conexión (texto, audioguía y mapas) estuvo muy bien pensado. Sin dudas una de las mejores experiencias del viaje.
