Itinéraire

Le palais de Cnossos
At **Knossos Palace**, travelers step into the very heart of Europe’s oldest civilization — the Minoans. It’s more than an archaeological site; it’s a living myth. As you wander through grand staircases, royal chambers, and storied courtyards, you’ll trace the footsteps of King Minos, Queen Pasiphae, and the legendary Minotaur.
With your **self-guided mobile app and the QR codes** placed throughout the site, you’ll uncover the stories behind the vibrant frescoes, the ingenious plumbing system, and the ceremonial halls that defined this Bronze Age marvel. You’ll move freely at your own pace — no rush, no crowding — pausing where history calls to you. From the **Throne Room** to the **Queen’s Megaron**, every corner reveals craftsmanship and symbolism that still astonish modern engineers and artists alike.

Préfecture d'Héraklion
After Knossos, enjoy a 20-minute drive through the countryside to a family-owned olive mill. Here, the owner himself welcomes you for a guided walk through his olive grove, sharing his knowledge of cultivation, pruning, and the seasonal rhythm of harvesting.
Inside the mill, witness the entire process of olive oil production — from fresh fruit to the final “liquid gold” — using both traditional and modern extraction methods.
Finish the visit with a tasting of three premium extra virgin olive oils, learning to recognize quality and choose the right one to take home.

Peskesi
Housed in a restored Venetian mansion, Peskesi revives traditional Cretan recipes using ingredients from its own organic farm near Archanes. Expect dishes like slow-cooked lamb with wild greens, organic cheeses, and seasonal vegetables bathed in olive oil and herbs.
It’s a true celebration of Crete’s gastronomy — no time limits, just good food and genuine hospitality.
