    Our family thoroughly enjoyed the day spent visiting the ancient palace and the mystical cave associated with Zeus. The private tour allowed us to explore at our own pace, but we did encounter some delays in transportation that slightly disrupted our flow. The olive oil mill was a delightful bonus, offering a taste of local culture that complemented our historical adventure in Heraklion beautifully.

    We had a fantastic time exploring the rich history and stunning sights, from the ancient estate to the enchanting cave. The private transportation made it easy to relax, though we wished for more time at the olive oil mill to soak in the process.

    Our private exploration of the Knossos Palace and Zeus Cave was an unforgettable adventure, immersing us in the rich history of Crete. While the olive oil mill offered fascinating insights, the time spent there felt a bit rushed compared to the grandeur of the ancient palace.
