2.Palace of Knossos E-Ticket and Audio Guide

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 1,540 reviews · 1 - 5 hours · from $34

Hear about Minoan daily life, fashion, trade, frescoes, and palace rooms. Optional add-ons cover Heraklion City and the Archaeological Museum.

“The Palace is a must-visit and the experience with the audio tour should not be lost by anyone. The tour shares unknown information with a more curated content which you cannot even learn by a tour guide. Plus, you can read it/listen it in advance and after the visit and you can better digest the information and enjoy your tour. Highly suggested!!!”

“Good to be able to listen at your own pace as you could pause whilst looking at the other displays. It was sometimes hard to know what the next section was especially with part of the museum closed.”
