Palace tours · CHANIA PALACE TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 chania palace tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you buy.
Travel from Chania to Knossos Palace, Heraklion, and Rethymno on a 12-hour guided tour. Learn about Minoan myths with a guide such as Katerina, use headsets at the main sites, and choose between museum time and exploring Heraklion. Expect a long day, limited free time, and extra entry fees.
“Our guide was excellent….very informed and had great stories about Greek history.”
This 10-hour private trip from Chania combines Knossos Palace, Heraklion Archaeological Museum, and Rethymno. Christine or Christina and driver Thanos may share Cretan customs, history, food, and Greek phrases on the drive, with videos in the van. A palace guide, often Thalia, can add expert archaeological context.
“What a wonderful day! It was scheduled and planned around what we wanted. Lots of interesting information. Christine and her driver were fantastic. Lunch was really good. Wouldn't expect sandwiches to be that delicious but everyone was going on about them for days. Wonderful day! Highly recommend!!”
Spend a full day exploring Crete’s Minoan past. A guide leads you through Knossos, then takes you to Heraklion Archaeological Museum for original frescoes, gold jewelry, and ancient art. You also get free time in Heraklion. Pickup is offered across the Chania area, with a stop near Rethymno.
“Excellent value for what was a well planned and efficient day. Guides and driver were excellent. Museum and Knossos were unforgettable. Drive itself enabled us to see so much more of beautiful Crete. Highly recommended!”
