Simply astonishing! We had read about it but never visited. A great monument. Be advised, you'd need to spend many hours to take it all in and also later explore the museum too.

Knossos Palace is a little ay out of Heraklion but easy to get to either by taxi or public transport- bus. We had a very enjoyable day there. The Palace is in extensive grounds which are open to the public. The day we visited was free admission. It was very busy with lots of visitors.The areas of excavation are very interesting & show how the Palace must have looked before its decline. Theres a lovely store in the grounds selling artefacts etc & outside the gates a strip of shops selling touristy items.

Visiting places that I only saw depicted in history books while I was in primary school has always a fascinating effect bringing a lot of memories. The palace itself is huge and sometimes overcrowded, so I would suggest to get a guided tour (it costs 10 Euro) instead of roaming around. Thanks to our knowledgeable guide, we got to know a lot of secrets and anecdotes related to this fantastic site. One of the best and well maintained archaeological site.

Love the history of Crete and Knossos is one of the best places to see it, go early in the day as it get really hot from 12/1 onwards, and take some water in a cool bag if you can. It's not as good as it was years ago as a lot of the ruins are now cordoned off, but that's necessary to preserve them and you still see lots of the palace. Definitely worth a visit.

Pros; easy to walk around, nice views.Cons; sometimes crowded with herds of Asian tourists - much of the exhibitions are closed off to the public.

This is a great visit. We took a coach trip to the Palace of Knossos, which is a really interesting place to visit. You also can explore the little village around the area and have an amazing lunch nearby. Fascinating place and the tour guide we were with was brilliant. Well worth a visit.

Its better to visit early in the morning to avoid the heat in the summer .Buy water to have in hand or even some snack.To enjoy it better have plenty of time and a guide if possible.So educational and jaw dropping i d say!!!

It is unique piece of history, but well... No museum attached, poor or no descriprion of the objects etc. Of course its a must see location in Crete, but could be so much better.

Walking around Knossos really opened our eyes to the sophistication of ancient culture. This is definitely a must do when in Crete - be sure to go early and purchase the combo tickets that allow you to visit the museum in Heraklion. It is simply amazing and you will need to entire day to see both. We did Knossos in the morning and then took a lunch break at the Heraklion market. It was a great way to pause, eat some great Cretan food and then a short walk to the museum (air conditioned). We were traveling as a family ranging in age from 17 to 79 and everyone loved the day. It is important to tour Knossos early to avoid the crowds and the heat.

The ruins of the palace are extensive. A self-guided tour is easy because there is excellent signage. The most eye-catching parts of the complex are the restorations which give a better idea of the original palace than the stone foundations alone. Both the ruins and the archaeological museum should be visited to have a better understanding of Minoan Crete.
