A Great Way to Spend the Day - This was a great tour to see the highlights of Knossos Palace with our fantastic tour guide Akrivi. She was able to distill all the history and insightful tidbits to help understand the importance and relevance of the area. Katerina (sp?) was equally helpful in sharing the key pieces and areas of the Archaeological Museum as well as providing a great highlights tour of the city center of Heraklion. A Special shout out to Giannis for arranging the whole itinerary for us as we were not staying that close to the main pick up areas and for answering our myriad of inquiries. His patience was much appreciated through the booking process. This tour was well worth the time and money.
