    Remarkable ruins from the past. Pity about the crowds but understand that lots of people want to view what remains from so long ago.

    having booked tickets reduced hassles entering exhibits, although managing the digital tickets on a small mobile phone presented some issues; overal a wortwhile way to visit these sights and get useful audio commentary

    The audio guide of the Museum is quite good, although sometimes it is not obvious where the objects are located. In the Palace the description could be improved and the map and route should be more obvious. Both places are very interesting, but I missed a reference to the labyrinth that we could not see because of it.

    The site is very well laid out with excellent descriptions of the key monuments and related history. The staff were all friendly and there's a nice cafe to wait in if you are early for your booked visit (as we were). It's also easy to get to by public transport.
