Exploring Knossos Palace with a private guide was a highlight of my time in Heraklion; the intricate history brought the ruins to life in ways I hadn’t anticipated. While the shopping afterward offered a delightful variety, I found myself wishing for a bit more time at the palace itself—transportation was smooth, but felt slightly rushed.

Wandering through the ancient ruins was a captivating experience, and my guide shared fascinating stories that brought the history to life. I loved strolling through the local shops afterward, though I wish I had more time to explore the vibrant market stalls.
