Overview

Indulge in personalised service from our top local drivers with specialist knowledge in the comfort of a chauffeured luxury vehicle.

Take in the stellar ruins and sumptuous frescoes of the Palace of Knossos, appreciating it in a way that few will have the opportunity to do. Immerse yourself in labyrinthine wonder as we transport you back to a time when myth and history were indistinguishable.
Where there is culture, there is wine. Let us take you to the heart of Central Crete and specifically to the enchanting valley of Peza, a rich Minoan land with olive groves and red soils. Here you will discover a winery to taste Cretan indigenous varieties with divine aromas and flavours.

Enchanted by the Cretan land, its history, and its products, it is impossible not to visit the magical village of Ano Archanes with its beautiful streets and old houses. One of the few places visited by the current King of England Charles. A magical place to enjoy a local meal cooked with much love and care.

Activity itinerary

The Palace of Knossos
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Minoan palace is the main place to visit in Knossos (or Knossos), an important city in antiquity, with continuous life from the Neolithic years to the 5th century. It is built on the hill of Kefala, with easy access to the sea and the interior of Crete. According to tradition, it was the seat of the wise king Minos. Fascinating myths, of the Labyrinth with the Minotaur and of Daedalus with Icarus, are connected with the palace of Knossos. Admission fee is not included (15.00 Euros / Person)
Agia Irini (Pass by)
In the area of Agia Irini at Spilia there is the largest of the aqueduct bridges built in Crete in order to solve the water shortage problem of the Grand Castle (today's Heraklion). Through this water bridge built during the Egyptian occupation (1830-40) the water was transferred from the Fountana spring in Kounavi and from the Miliaras spring in Skalani, to the centre of Heraklion, after it had been merged with the water coming through the Venetian aqueduct of Morozini. The reason for the construction was the identification by the Egyptians of the ancient Roman aqueduct of Knossos, with an underground tunnel 1150m long, which was cleaned, opened and restored. The east entrance of the tunnel survives in excellent condition, while the west is blocked by soil. The area is ideal for a walk, as in the adjacent church of Agia Irini (Saint Irene) there is a very beautiful park with trees and benches.
Titakis Wines- Fabrika Wine Experience
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Every sip reveals a taste of personal history. From its preparation technique, and its place of origin to the process and the time it took to reach your glass. It's a delightful journey that sharpens the senses and evokes emotions. That's why it requires you to take the time to savour it as it deserves. At Titakis Winery, the visitor has the opportunity to taste the wines of the winery in the tasting room and to see the areas where the wine is vinified and bottled. Our tasting programme consists of tasting 5 indigenous varieties.
Archanes
  • 1h 30m
Arriving at the beautiful square of Archanes village. In a unique environment at the centre of the village surrounded by tall trees and flowers, located at the foot of mountain Giouhtas. You will enjoy Cretan hospitality at its best by having lunch at one of the most know taverns. An interesting combination of a tavern and little shop in which you can taste on your own different olive oils, honey, and locally produced marmalades. Lunch consists of a salad, starter, main course, and dessert. A bottle of water, a glass of wine each, and a small carafe of raki are also included.
