Elke maandag ga ik naar het zuiden van Kreta waar een heel rustig en mooi klooster staat waar nog 5 monniken wonen. De monniken hebben hier een mooi folkore museum ingericht waar deze oude olijfpers staat.
Archeological museum in Heraklion
The archaeological museum in Heraklion has become one of the best museums in Europe, the finds of the Minoan civilization exhibited there are beautiful, it is unbelievable what the Minoans could make 4000 years ago, I am amazed at every display again and ag, no matter how many times I see them.
The entrance fee for the museum is only 10€, students with a student card of the EU do not pay any entrance fee and senior sitizens of the EU pay half price.
You can also pay a combination ticket for both the archeological museum and the archeological site of Knossos, that costs 16€. But than you have to visit both place within 2 days.
In case you will visit both, take my advice and visit first the archeological museum, because then you will be able to imagine life in the palace during the Minoan sivilization much more easy. And that is what you need on the archeological site of Knossos, a lot of imagination, YOUR imagination, so feel free to create your own story with the what you will see on both places.
On Sunday, September 30, 2018 access is free so if you are in Crete, do not miss this opportunity!
Here are pictures of some of the finds.
