Historical Museum of Crete, Heraklion

A very nice overview of the Cretan history of the last ~2000 years and a lot bigger than I thought. Definitely worth paying a visit.

So many things and so big history in a not so big museum. Nice place. But it was too hot in some places. And gloves.. i don't think it was necessary.

Very Beautiful museum with many Venetian relics ! Interesting ! Creta history but unfortunately my tour experience as a black guy was not good , I was each time at the same floor with other visitors in different rooms but I was the only one followed by guards IT WAS AMAZING! To make sure that I was not crazy I made a test I stayed at same floor as all the visitors but EACH TIME I WAS THE ONLY ONE FOLLOWED , may be I looked like a thief 🙃 ahhh... it was really embarrassing I left the museum ... it was oppressing I couldn’t even enjoy anymore because I knew that if I did something wrong or suspicious I would be dead 🙃

€5 adult entrance paid at door €3 for audio guide. Well worth a visit. Helps you understand the how cultures develop by visiting attractions like this. Very safe too. Gloves and hand sanitizer at door and numbers limited.

Wonderful museum that is well laid out and nicely lit. They also have an amazing collection of religious icons, probably the best pieces we have seen.
