Quisiera marcar la diferencia en mi experiencia en el Palacio de Cnosos, el lugar merece una muy buena calificación, pero la atención, un 0, un cero ENORME. En cambio, mi experiencia en el Museo Arqueológico de Heraklion, tanto el lugar como la atención de su personal, merece la más alta calificación, sobresaliente. En el Palacio de Cnosos, el personal fue muy maleducado y nada servicial, algo que me sorprendió mucho por la diferencia de trato que hay en mi país, Perú, país conocido por la amabilidad de su gente, donde la atención al turista, es de primera. En Cnosos, desde la entrada, aunque tenía la información en mi celular, la persona en la ventanilla se mostraba muy displicente y no trataba de ayudar para identificar cuál era el documento que necesitaba le mostrara. Pasé luego al segundo control, la entrada propiamente dicha y fue igual, hice una pregunta y no solo no me respondieron, sino que optaron por decir que mi pregunta no era su trabajo y punto.. Hice el tour por mi cuenta, y la audioguía no ayudó nada, es sólo un resumen de la historia, no una audioguía, que explica lo que uno ve. He visitado lugares como the Killing Fields en Camboya, donde el Khmer Rouge asesinaba a la gente y la audioguía es REALMENTE una audioguía, explica cada lugar que ves, la audioguía de Cnosos NO ES AUDIOGUIA. Luego de dos horas y algunas colas -había cientos de turistas que viajaban en grupo- a mi salida, luego de examinar los lugares visitados pregunté a una de los empleados que se encontraban cerca sobre el fresco de los delfines, que no había visto tenía entendido que ya no se encontraba en el Palacio y ese individuo fue muy mal educado, preferí obviarlo y preguntar a otra persona que confirmó mi duda. Mi visita al Museo Arqueológico, en cambio, fue muy positiva. Como terminé mi visita al Palacio de Cnosos, fui al Museo dos horas antes de lo que había registrado y a la entrada me explicaron que tenía que regresar a la hora programada o una hora antes o después de lo programado, lo cual entendí. Como había demasiada gente, me preocupé de recorrer el Museo y ver las obras más importantes y en determinados momentos tuve que solicitar la ayuda del personal que siempre me atendieron amablemente, además de estar muy bien informados. Al terminar la visita, noté que no había visitado una parte del Museo, de manera que regresé, pero no la encontré, pregunté a una de las servidoras del Museo y me explicó que dicho sector estaba temporalmente cerrado, respondiendo amablemente.

Como houve atrasos de chegada nos locais, e o horário do ingresso era muito restrito, perdi os dois ingressos. E quando fiz a compra, não foi informado sobre essa necessidade absoluta de entrada no período. Fiz compras semelhantes em Atenas, e lá, inclusive o ingresso poderia ser utilizado por 3 dias. Vocês deveriam deixar bem claro na venda de que o ingresso só será aceito nos intervalos determinados.

The Minoan palace of Knossos is a must-see when in Crete and we got a feel for the place that you could only get in person when we visited both Knossos and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum in October. Ticketing through Headout worked well: I downloaded tickets for two of us to my phone and they were scanned at entry. For both venues there is a scheduled entry time and it would have been helpful to have times closer together. As it was, our entry time at Knossos was in the morning (a good idea to avoid crowds) but our museum entry not until 5 pm so we had to fill the time with other activities. The downloadable guides to both venues were helpful. We followed along with earbuds at Knossos and didn't feel like we missed having a live tour guide. In fact it gave us flexibility to move at our own pace and pause when we wanted to. Glad we did both venues as Knossos is just ruins with some reconstructed sections, while the museum fills in gaps with art, paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, tools, etc., that actually came from the palace site. It was a great learning experience.
Prepare to visit two of the top archaeological attractions of Crete – the Palace of Knossos and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. Enjoy a captivating self-guided audioguide tour at both locations.
Heraklion Archaeological Museum
At the center of Minoan art and historic preservation, this museum experience is sure to enthrall you with one-of-a-kind exhibits, artifacts, frescoes, and more. Your audio guide not only has history and facts but also includes more than 80 stories about the Minoan era. Built between 1904 - 1907, the Museum houses the most valuable pieces of Cretan prehistory and history in the world, spanning 5,500 years old. Some of the figurines you’ll see include Seated Female Figurine, Snake Goddess figurines – a group of ancient sculptures excavated in 1903 in the Minoan palace at Knossos – The Poppy Goddess, and more.
Other significant artifacts you simply can’t miss are the Golden Bee Pendant, Phaistos Disc, Minos Ring, and Stone Bull’s Head Rhyton, etc. Priceless frescoes include the Bull-Leaping Fresco, Blue Bird Fresco, The Cup Bearer, Prince of the Lillies, and more.
Knossos Palace
Discover the ancient Minoan capital of Knossos through immersive storytelling and a wonderfully informative audio guide. The Knossos Palace is not only one of the most luxurious palaces in the world but also one of the oldest ones.
Start the tour by exploring the South Propylaeum which depicts the scenes of everyday life and activities in Minoan Crete. Follow the evolution of Minoan fashion as you learn about the hairstyles and beauty products that were used. Head onto the West Magazines where the storage facilities of the palace are located. Get to know about the well-organized bureaucracy and the trade networks of the Minoan economy which supported the palace organization.
At the South Entrance Corridor, gaze out at Mount Juktas and discover a copy of the Prince of the Lilies. Find out everything about the bath habits in the Minoan era as you visit the Queen’s Megaron which is beautifully decorated with blue dolphin frescoes.
