Experience the history and culture of Crete with a fascinating three-and-a-half hour excursion that includes Knossos Palace and internationally renowned Boutari Winery. First on your itinerary is the famous Minoan Palace. Stretched over six acres, the palace is a marvel of camera-worthy delights. 1,300 rooms, corridors of different sizes, walls adorned with colorful frescoes, and graceful columns all add to the grandeur that was once the largest of all Minoan palatial structures. The Minoans not only built grand palaces, they also successfully cultivated grapes. That tradition is still alive at the Boutari Winery. After you step off the motorcoach, you'll tour the cellar and production area followed by a multimedia presentation on the history of wine making. Later, you'll be treated to a wine sampling accompanied by an authentic Crete snack. Then, you'll rejoin your motorcoach for a relaxing return trip to port.
