This is such a strange site to visit - unlike most archaelogical sites, from the 1920s onwards it has been partially reconstructed by the owners. Reading afterwards the different views of historians as to which bits are probably accurate and which aren't is almost as much fun as the visit itself!

It's a reasonably small and self-contained site, easily manageable in a few hours if it's not too crowded (we arrived when the gates opened and were out before most of the crowds showed up).

Out of town, but easily accessible on public transport - and note that the ticket also covers the archaelogical museum in Heraklion, where the movable finds from the site are on display.
