    Taking the city bus is very convenient, no need for a taxi or special tour to get there. Bring your own interpretation materials or guide book, the English & Greek signage on site is minimal - you don't even get a paper map to use. Do not go if it is hot.

    Nice but somewhat disappointing because there's actually not much to see. It is more the suggestion than a view of what it was. In summer months, it is highly recommended to visit the site early morning because it gets really, really hot.

    Glad I visited heraklion museum first to see the real artifacts. Feel like the original dig would have looked very different to what Arthur Evans created. Still very interesting. We downloaded a free audio guide on our mobiles, so we could go at our own pace. Brought a sandwich and water.

    It was awesome with a private guide that we had.

    It was awesome with a private guide that we had. Lots of signage for the sites that you see there, but get a good guide if you can. Also, get there as early as possible. Even in late September, it was getting really crowded by late morning.

    Most of monuments were restored by an archeologist (!?)

    Most of monuments were restored by an archeologist (!?) almost 100 year ago. He used his imagination and reinforced concrete, not knowing ancient art at all. Even paintings are fake. Anyway, Crete is a beautiful island, rich of history and beautiful nature
