Ting å gjøre i Heraklion Archaeological Museum

4,4/5 (318)

Leaf through over 5000 years of Cretian history and Europe’s first advanced civilisation – the Minoans – at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The museum holds an impressive status that warrants a visit and is a great way to understand the island. Explore the 27 different rooms and exhibits inside to learn about everyday life as a Minoan – from colourful murals and frescoes, detailed ceramics and clay pots to their favourite sports and games. You’ll even see something that looks like chess.

Explore the symbols and legends of the Minoan era, including the sacred double axe and the bull’s head. Look out for the museum’s most prominent exhibit too – the Phaistos Disc. Join in to speculate what it’s for. The hieroglyphic carvings and images are a mystery that has yet to be deciphered. Meet the Snake Goddesses statues, the ladies that hold snaked in both hands in traditional costume, as well as a selection of impressive jewellery, in particular the gold bee pendant. It’s a showstopper.

The museum spans from the Neolithic Ages to Roman times, so you’ll see sculptures, coins and inscriptions from Classical to Roman Crete, as well as a series of portraits of Roman emperors. For the full picture of Minoan civilisation, head to the nearby Minoan Knossos Palace.

Knossospalasset og Heraklion – guidet rundtur med transport

Knossospalasset er et av de viktigste arkeologiske stedene på Kreta fordi det er her Europas første sivilisasjon begynte, sier Veta, en av guidene våre. Hun er født og oppvokst her på øya og kjenner derfor godt til legendene og mytene som omgir øyas mest populære severdighet. Du vil bruke dagen på å se historien komme til live mens du går rundt på palassets område, før vi drar over til Heraklion og bruker litt tid i hovedstaden. Knossospalasset, som en gang var knutepunkt for Kretas minoiske sivilisasjon, ligger i hjertet av det som regnes for å være Europas eldste bosetning. Du får bli med på en guidet omvisning med alle høydepunktene, der vi besøker tronsalen, de kongelige leilighetene, freskene og mye mer. Du får også se labyrinten der det sies at den fryktinngytende Minotauros, halvt mann og halvt okse, var sperret inne. Og med Fast Track-inngang er det ingen ventetid i kø.Deretter kjører vi til Heraklion, Kretas hovedstad. Vi ser den venetianske løvefontenen fra 1600-tallet og den 400 år gamle venetianske loggiaen, som nå er rådhuset, under en guidet tur rundt i byen. Vi avslutter med å ta deg med til de åpne markedene for litt tid på egen hånd. Se deg rundt i boder fulle av håndlagde pyntegjenstander og ferske lokale råvarer, eller stopp for en kaffe på en lokal kafé. Andre ting du ikke bør gå glipp av er Koule-festningen og kirken Agios Titos.

“We spent a very short time at Knossos the main reason for the excudion. So much if the oakace we didn't see. Our guidewas knowledgeable but rushed us round. 3 hours in Heraklion was about 1.5 hours too long. Add time at Knossos.”

“Knossos Palace was interesting, but crowded and expectations should be set around how much there actually is to see. Entrance fee is only 15 Euros. The "tour" of Heraklion was more here is a fountain see you back here in a couple of hours. Description of trip also mentioned a market but this didn't really materialise. So trip did feel a bit expensive for what it was.”
