Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your mobile voucher is accepted at the entrance — simply show it on your phone.

Is entry really free for children and young EU citizens?

Yes. Children under 6 and EU citizens under 26 enter free of charge, but they still need an admission ticket. This must be collected at the site on the day, and valid ID is required.

How does the audio guide work?

If you select the admission-with-audio-guide option, download instructions will appear on your voucher once your booking is confirmed. You download it before or at the site.

How long should I allow for a visit?

The site is extensive. Most visitors spend between one and two hours, though you can stay longer if you wish — your ticket covers the full site.

Is Knossos Palace accessible for visitors with mobility difficulties?

Parts of the site are accessible, but the ruins involve uneven ground, steps and gravel paths. We recommend contacting the site directly if you have specific accessibility requirements.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Please check the cancellation policy shown at checkout for the specific ticket option you select, as terms can vary.
