Complesso architettonico dí ineguagliabile valore. Ciò che riesci a vedere ti dà la percezione della grandezza e maestosità con l'audio guida puoi essere libero di far parte della meraviglia che stai visitando. Fatta veramente bene.

The audio guide for Knossos Palace was excellent. However for the archeological museum it was hard to follow and didn't correspond with the order of the exhibits

Experiência simples e prática. Depois de descarregarmos os bilhetes e o áudio guia fizemos visitas autónomas mas ricas de informação interessante. Passamos à frente das filas também.

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

Discover the history of two of the top historical attractions in Crete – the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the Knossos Palace.

With an in-depth English audio guide – downloadable onto your smartphone – this is definitely a hassle-free and informative way to visit two outstanding locations.

At the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, you'll see exquisite pieces of Cretan art, prehistory, and history, over 5,500 years old from the Neolithic period to Roman times.

Some significant exhibits include Phaistos Disc, Snake Goddess, Stone Bull's Head Rhyton, and much more.

Move through the corridors of the once-luxurious Knossos Palace, explore the South Propylaeum – showcasing everyday life in ancient times – and learn about the Minoan economy and trade networks at the West Magazines.

Visite très intéressante du palais de knossos. Le site possède des trésors archéologiques et la civilisation minoenne était développée pour l'époque

Prepare to visit two of the top archaeological attractions of Crete – the Palace of Knossos and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. Enjoy a captivating self-guided audioguide tour at both locations.

Heraklion Archaeological Museum

At the center of Minoan art and historic preservation, this museum experience is sure to enthrall you with one-of-a-kind exhibits, artifacts, frescoes, and more. Your audio guide not only has history and facts but also includes more than 80 stories about the Minoan era. Built between 1904 - 1907, the Museum houses the most valuable pieces of Cretan prehistory and history in the world, spanning 5,500 years old. Some of the figurines you’ll see include Seated Female Figurine, Snake Goddess figurines – a group of ancient sculptures excavated in 1903 in the Minoan palace at Knossos – The Poppy Goddess, and more.

Other significant artifacts you simply can’t miss are the Golden Bee Pendant, Phaistos Disc, Minos Ring, and Stone Bull’s Head Rhyton, etc. Priceless frescoes include the Bull-Leaping Fresco, Blue Bird Fresco, The Cup Bearer, Prince of the Lillies, and more.

Knossos Palace

Discover the ancient Minoan capital of Knossos through immersive storytelling and a wonderfully informative audio guide. The Knossos Palace is not only one of the most luxurious palaces in the world but also one of the oldest ones.

Start the tour by exploring the South Propylaeum which depicts the scenes of everyday life and activities in Minoan Crete. Follow the evolution of Minoan fashion as you learn about the hairstyles and beauty products that were used. Head onto the West Magazines where the storage facilities of the palace are located. Get to know about the well-organized bureaucracy and the trade networks of the Minoan economy which supported the palace organization.

At the South Entrance Corridor, gaze out at Mount Juktas and discover a copy of the Prince of the Lilies. Find out everything about the bath habits in the Minoan era as you visit the Queen’s Megaron which is beautifully decorated with blue dolphin frescoes.

Audio guide

Bring a charged smartphone and headphones, as the audio guide is available in English and German.

Ensure you have at least 350 MB of free storage on your phone to download the audio guide.

The audio guide is incompatible with Windows Phones, iPhone 5/5C or older, iPod Touch 5th generation or older, iPad 4th generation or older, and iPad Mini 1st generation.
