Overall, we enjoyed the experience and the ticketing system worked well. The audio guide was not as successful. I was unable to download it at my hotel as it didn't give me this option. So when we were there, it kept cutting out and I had to reset it constantly. I gave up in the end, and didn't even bother with it once I got to the museum.

The guide to the museum was very clear and informative, and easy to navigate from room to room. Sadly, there is so much to see, a two hour tour is barely enough, and several visits would be needed to do it justice. The guide around Knossos was not as intuitive, so in the end, I just tried to match the picture to the area visiting, and read the information, which was nevertheless interesting.

The site of the Knossos Palace was a bit crowded and on a hot day it may be a little tricky to find some shadow there. Overall with a little imagination you can enjoy walking through the different parts of the ancient ruins. The guided tour might help a lot, but I’ve made a mistake of not listening to it prior to my arrival at Knossos and got a little confused. The archeological museum had many interesting items, I really enjoyed this part of the activity and could spend there hours exploring all that the museum has to offer. I would recommend to take a little break between visit the palace and the museum as it could be a bit tiring and overloaded with information.
