What makes Labyrinth of Knossos and Minoan taste experience a unique experience ?
Minos, King of Crete. The Palace of Knossos is connected with thrilling legends, such as the myth of the Labyrinth, with the Minotaur, and the story of Daidalos and Ikaros. Knossos, a complex of more than 1500 interlocking rooms, was an astonishing palace, built for a mighty king of the Bronze Age. As you wander through the labyrinthine ruins, you will have the chance to see the original throne of “Minos”, the mystifying sanctuaries, the luxurious domestic quarters of the royal family, the once upon a time bursting with Crete’s treasures pantries and the astonishing water-management systems!
Knossos is considered Europe’s oldest city. The first palace of Knossos was erected soon after 2000 BC. In 1700 BC, a catastrophic earthquake destroyed the Palace. A new palace was then immediately built, the most significant and monumental of all and for more than 300 years it represented the pre-eminent center of power in Bronze Age Crete.
Vathipetro Cretan farmhouse. This venue embodies the vision of tradition, culture and local cuisine intertwined with respect for nature and environmental awareness. Modern and traditional activities are available on-site, including: tasting of authentic local products (olive oil, wine, honey), live watching of the production, packaging and standardization process for fruits and vegetables, strolling through vineyards and olive groves, visits to the traditional Cretan farmhouse (‘’metόchi’’ in Greek), local food and drinks, as well as bread-making and baking in a traditional wood-fired oven. Lovers of authentic, unexplored and genuine tourism may enjoy here all that nature generously offers. Driven by the five senses and through food tasting, they discover textures, flavors, images, sounds and smells.
