Two complementary visits
Knossos lies outside central Heraklion. Reserve separate blocks for the palace and museum, including the transfer and a break; check each admission independently.
Wednesday changes the museum plan
The published winter 2026–2027 museum timetable starts later on Wednesdays. Confirm your date before choosing the order.
Use the map for orientation
The map and forecast refer to the Heraklion area, not the Knossos entrance. Use the palace guide’s directions link for the final transfer.
