“This is the best excursion you'll take! Three generations in my family loved this tour, from grandmom down to my teens. Christine and Thanos picked us up at our Chania hotel in an air-conditioned van filled with drinks and snacks. We departed for Knossos Palace and stopped at beautiful vistas like the White Mountains for photos. During the ride, Christine shared details about the island's history, food, customs, music, and people. In between, we saw quick videos to bring the details to life. At Knossos, we had an expert, Thalia, take us around and she was passionate about the archeological site. Knossos existed way before the Acropolis was even imagined!…”
