A day to remember for the whole family takes you back in time and under the sea when you explore two of Crete's most noted attractions on this full-day, Discovery Family exclusive tour. A short motorcoach ride transports you to the ruins of the 4,000-year-old Knossos Palace. Walk with your knowledgeable guide through this six-acre complex, constructed in 1900 B.C. with an intricate floor plan that is the stuff of thrilling Greek legends. Be sure to visit the Throne Room, where the kids will find a child's throne and colorful griffin frescoes on the wall, and the magnificent dolphin murals in the queen's Great Hall. Continue on to the Cretaquarium, where you'll find 60 tanks, more than 2,000 marine organisms, and interactive, hands-on exhibits dedicated to the inhabitants of the Mediterranean Sea. Enjoy lunch at a local taverna before embarking on a driving tour of Heraklion's highlights as you make your way back to the ship
