There is a parking lot next to the site. We were welcomed by one of the employees and the entry process is smooth. The english audioquide via key tours is a little misleading as it the routing seems to be outdated or is simply a little to short. We ended up double checking multiple of the spots the guides was talking about as we were not sure where to go next. The palace itself is an interesting location for everyone old enough to enjoy ruins and wall painting, so above 12 years according to personal interest I would say. It is a nice open place and allows a perspective on early civilization even for people with little to no history knowledge. I would recommend a visit but with a different audio guide than the one on key tours.

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.

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.

Explore Knossos Palace, the largest Bronze Age site on Crete and the ceremonial hub of the Minoan civilization, an absolute feast for history enthusiasts.

With the pre-booked e-ticket, dive straight into your journey into the past, find a copy of “Prince of the Lilies” at the South Entrance Corridor and more.

The self-guided audio tour, available in 5 languages, lets you discover the beauty and trade secrets of Minoan times.

The cupbearers and procession frescoes at the South Propylaeum offer valuable insights into daily life and ceremonies in Minoan Crete.

Fun fact: The palace was so large that it could have housed up to 100,000 scrolls, making it potentially one of the largest libraries of the ancient world.

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

It was an interesting place to visit. But the audio guide is poor grammatically incorrect at times. Furthermore audio guides are available online, which as there is a lack of map signage on site would work far better buying there.

The pictures and their reconstruction were vivid and impressive. the concrete structures from Mr. Evans were a bit weird but illustrative. Therefor a special and unique place for more than one reason. If I had known earlier which app to download, I could have prepared it. So I paid more money for nothing.
