Description

Step into the heart of Crete’s ancient history with a visit to the legendary Knossos Palace, just outside Heraklion. This archaeological marvel is the largest Bronze Age site on the island and the birthplace of the fascinating Minoan civilization.

Wander through partially restored palace ruins that date back over 3,700 years, where myth and history intertwine. Explore the labyrinthine corridors and admire the throne of King Minos, still intact after centuries, as you discover the origins of the Minotaur legend.

Your ticket grants you direct access to Knossos Palace, with the option to enhance your experience using a self-guided audio tour in English, Italian, French, or Spanish. All options also include a self-guided audio tour of Heraklion city, adding extra value to your visit.

Upon booking, you’ll receive your e-ticket via email, which you can present at the entrance either on your phone or printed. The experience is suitable for all fitness levels and typically lasts between one and three hours, making it easy to fit into your travel plans.

Tickets are valid for travelers over 25, and special rates or free entry are available for infants and young EU citizens with valid ID at the site. Secure your spot to explore Crete’s most iconic archaeological site—book your Knossos Palace ticket now before availability runs out!
