Museums in Heraklion

The history is what made this visit so great! Walking through the ancient site and learning about the Minoan civilization really brought the experience to life. I highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance, especially if you’re visiting while cruise ships are in port. We were able to skip the long ticket lines and get ahead of the crowds. The lines were VERY long once the cruise-ship passengers arrived. The audio guide was also a great addition—it gave much more context to what we were seeing and made the visit even more interesting. Tip: Buy your tickets ahead of time and beat the cruise-ship crowds!

Visita molto interessante al Palazzo di Cnosso. Immergersi nel mito del Minotauro è un'esperienza unica e il sito è affascinante. L'audioguida inclusa nel biglietto si è rivelata fondamentale: chiara e ricca di dettagli.

Il était facile d'accéder aux billets alors que les sites étaient persuadés que les billets combinés n'existaient pas ! Très pratique

Great place to visit and easy to find, good parking for Knossos palace. However it wasn't advertised that the entry to the palace and the museum were split apart for 5 hours - so the entry to the palace was 8am and we couldn't enter the museum til 1pm! This changed our plans for the whole day

A very interesting museum due to the age of the display - amazing to think items went back to 6000BC! Beautifully displayed .
