Day trips from Heraklion

Crete is home to some of the most extraordinary sights in the Mediterranean — from the 5,000-year-old Palace of Knossos to the pink-sand shores of Elafonissi and the dramatic 16-kilometre Samaria Gorge. Minoa Routes runs guided day excursions from Heraklion to all of Crete's must-see destinations, with licensed local guides and small groups for a more personal experience.
