Is the Palace of Knossos near Heraklion?

Hello Kidslovegreece! We are a family of 4 and we would like to spend our next vacation in Heraklion, Crete. So, we started to do a little research about the best places to visit and other things to do and we wanted to ask you about the Palace of Knossos and how far it is from Heraklion?

Hey there! Well, you have chosen one of the best places to visit with your children in Greece! Crete, and more precisely Heraklion, offers numerous child-friendly activities that you will love to participate in. 

To answer your question, Knossos Palace is located about 5 km from the center of Heraklion. That is about 15 minutes by car. The Palace of Knossos is an amazing sight to visit with your kids especially if they love Greek mythology!
