A free parking area is available just before the Knossos Palace entrance. Summer Tip (June–August): For a cooler and more serene experience, the 17:00 (5:00 PM) tour slot is ideal. This is when crowds and heat are at their lowest, offering the most comfortable way to explore Knossos and enjoy the myths of the Labyrinth.
