It wasn’t overly crowded when we went. That is always a plus.

Best museum I have ever visited, clear paths, good exhibition. Museum audio guide was quite good. Knossos was alright, but the audio guide was really terrible. Wrong routing and irrelevant information. Also, the audio guide only shows up in the app after creating an account, which is not clear upfront.

Definitely enjoyed Knossos Palace more than the Archeological Museum. It was super interesting to see the reconstruction of the palace grounds and learn more about how it would have looked. Good value for money to be able to get both tickets in a package deal together. The Museum was personally not for me - the artefacts were interesting, but very 'same-y' and unlike most other major museums, you are not able to take photos of the items.
