    Unbelievably fabulous place to view ancient items from Knossos Palace, other palaces on Crete & caves. This is also a MUST SEE place to visit & worth every penny to view history. Don't miss the slide presentation at the end. So must history is explained for those who are not history buffs.

    We enjoyed the us ot th audio guide. We weren't interested in following the large group from the cruise ship infrnt of us, so we jumped ahead quite a bit. The chapters could b nam e a bit closer to the information signs through out the site so it would be easier to find the right audio to play. Otherwise, it was easy to use and the two people useing one ear piece each individually worked the best.

    Everything worked perfectly. Buying tickets in advance with Headout saved us a lot of time waiting in line. The tickets arrived on time and the audio guide was very helpful for a complete visit (because without the audio guide it's difficult to find your way around). The after-sales service is also very good because, when I needed to contact them to resolve a question, they promptly responded and solved my problem. And the Palace of Knossos is a must-see; a thrilling dive into history.

    I have studied literature. And the first paper I wrote was about the Minotaure. This visit was somehow the conclusion of a cycle.
