Top Destination
2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
The site was basically reproduced based on an Englishman's discovery. I wasn't impressed.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Go to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum first—at around 3 or 4pm. Then, go to Knossos later, ideally around 6:30 or 7pm. That allows you to get context for the site and avoids the tour bus crowds. You will not need too much time at the ruins.
5/5 - Excellent
Laurie
Wear good sneakers or shoes with solid platform for the cobblestone streets and walking over dirt and rocks.
