Amazing Small Group Tour of the Minoan Knossos Palave

5.00Amazing small-group tour led by a very knowledgeable and personable guide, Kalliopi (Popi). Going in the morning is recommended before it gets too busy. Small group tour was great because we could move around easily and avoid the larger tour groups. Pro tip is to avoid Tuesdays when it is very busy with cruise ship groups. Amazing history and ruins of the Minoan society. Popi’s knowledge really explained the history well and debunked some of the popular myths. Very cool tour!
Popi was wonderful! We...

5.00Popi was wonderful! We were running a couple of minutes behind and Popi was very accommodating. She is very informative about Knossos Palace. She also knows all of the great shade spots around the grounds. She was polite, professional and knowledgable.

5.00We had a great tour of the Palace of Knossos with Popi. She was very knowledgeable about the palace and the Minoans. It wouldn’t have been the same without her! We would recommend using a guide for the palace as it totally enriches the experience!
Fantastic.
