A two-hour drive along the National Road by comfortable motor coach will bring you to Heraklion. This town is famous for the once-stunning Knossos Palace—one of the most important palaces of the Minoan civilization. According to mythology, it was the seat of the legendary King Minos and is also connected to thrilling stories such as the myth of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth, and the story of Daedalus and Icarus—the boy who flew too close to the sun. Learn about this splendid history from your knowledgeable guide as you see the partially-restored ruins of this formerly glorious palace. Enjoy a traditional Greek meal before heading back to the port.
