If you want to learn about the history of Crete and discover all about the Minoan culture, this guided tour of the Heraklion Archaeological Museum is a must.
At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of Hari’s Creperiê and, once we're all there, we'll walk to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum to start this guided tour.
Did you know that it has the largest collection of Minoan art in the world? You can find unique pieces dating back to 6000 BC and antiquities that span Crete's past from the Neolithic to Roman times. It's therefore also considered one of the most important museums in Europe.
The exhibition is divided into 27 rooms, including the Minoan collection, the Minoan frescoes and the historical period. During the tour, we'll see the oldest finds from the island, from millennia-old everyday items to weapons.
We'll also see the most famous objects, such as the Minoan snake goddess figurines, the reconstruction of the fresco Prince of the Lilies, and the Minoan gold ring with a representation of a kind of ritual. We'll also see Minoan pottery painted with figures of birds and fish.
After 2 hours of this journey into the past, we'll end the activity at the starting point.
The admission fee to the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion is not included. The price is 20EUR for adults and 12EUR for EU citizens over 65 from November 1 to March 31. The rest of the year, the price is the same for both groups.
