Prebook Knossos Palace entry plus an offline smartphone audio guide, timed access, and key stops from the Throne Room to purification.
“I had thought, when booking the tour, to be given a standard "go here, look at this, listen to the history of it" tour. That was not the case! The Clio tour is in fact more concerned with a general background of the period and people, and so it is better to view the palace at your own pace while listening as you walk. The background detail given is certainly interesting and I felt we had something that other visitors were not experiencing. My only criticism is that the Android app didn't auto-play so I had to keep manually starting the next part of the tour as I moved around.…”
