Ce qui vous attend

Lieu de naissance de la première civilisation européenne, le palais de Cnossos, classé par l'UNESCO, est l'un des sites antiques les plus importants de Crète. Laissez un expert vous faire revivre l'histoire en explorant le joyau archéologique le plus prisé de l'île. Cette visite propose également du temps libre dans la station balnéaire de Réthymnon et une visite de la capitale crétoise, Héraklion. Andreas, l'un de nos guides locaux experts, explique : "Les Minoens étaient très avancés et le palais de Cnossos présente des techniques architecturales, telles que des bâtiments à plusieurs étages et un système de drainage sophistiqué, qui étaient en avance sur leur temps".

Vous commencerez la matinée dans le dédale de rues colorées de Réthymnon, où vous pourrez flâner dans les boutiques, trouver un petit café ou vous rendre au port. S'enroulant autour de la petite baie, le port de Réthymnon est aussi joli qu'ancien. La vue sur la Fortezza de l'époque vénitienne et sur la mer est un véritable enchantement. La prochaine étape est la capitale de la Crète, Héraklion. Vous profiterez d'une visite guidée des meilleurs endroits de la ville, comme la fontaine du lion vénitienne et la loggia. Vous aurez également du temps libre pour explorer à votre rythme.

La dernière étape de la journée, et non des moindres, est une visite guidée du palais de Cnossos. Admirez des trésors tels que la salle du trône, les appartements royaux et les fabuleuses fresques. Les fresques antiques sont particulièrement impressionnantes. Elles représentent des scènes de la vie quotidienne, des rituels religieux et des créatures mythiques. Vous découvrirez également le labyrinthe, où, selon la légende, se cachait la redoutable créature mi-homme, mi-taureau qu'on appelait le Minotaure.

Balos Lagoon viewpoint and Falasarna Beach scenic van tour

The wild side of north-west Crete takes centre stage on this small-group van adventure. It's a day that blends scenery, soft off-road exploring and laidback coastal moments. As local guide Manolis likes to say, “This day shows you Crete in one sweep, the quiet villages, the wild tracks, the peninsula, the lagoon and the beach that ties it all together.” You'll cruise through the countryside around Kissamos, passing olive groves, villages and coastal views as your guide shares stories and insights about local life, history and the natural beauty of Western Crete, giving you a richer sense of how the landscape shapes everyday rhythms.Then, you'll head off the beaten track across the rugged Gramvousa Peninsula on an 11-kilometre off-road route. After a short walk, you'll reach a natural balcony overlooking Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island, where you'll have time to soak up the views and snap photos of this iconic spot.After that, you'll continue along the coast to Falasarna Beach, where golden sand and clear water set the scene for around 2.5 hours of free time. Here, you can swim, unwind or grab lunch and drinks at a nearby taverna. As the day wraps up, you'll sit back for a scenic drive back along the north-western coastline. It's the perfect mix of adventure, landscapes and easygoing moments that capture the spirit of Crete.
