The best Polish website dedicated to the Greek island Crete and to a small extent of continental Greece. You will find useful information related to visiting Crete that goes beyond the offer of optional tours. On the website you will also find descriptions of the most interesting places that we visited by visiting this largest Greek island. The content complements the current news, photographs and recipes of Greek cuisine.
The Archaeological Museum of Heraklion is one of the most important and largest museums in Greece and one of the most important in Europe. The permanent exhibition of the museum contains unique works of art and Cretan history from excavations from the central and eastern parts of the island. It covers all periods of Crete's history and prehistory from the 5,500 years range from the Neolithic to the Roman times. The museum collections include sculptures, frescos, ceramics, tools, jewelry, various metal objects, seals, tombstones and many more. It is here that the famous finds such as the Fajstos disk, goddess figurine with snakes, double axes, precious ritons or pendant with bees found in the palace in Malia are stored.
History of the uprising
The beginnings of the activity date back to the turn of the 19th / 20th centuries when the first archaeological collection was created on the initiative of Józef Chatzidakis, who became famous for archaeological work carried out in Tylissos and the first excavations in the palace in Malia . At the beginning of the activity aimed at creating the museum Chatzidakis obtained permission from the Ottoman authorities. The first collections were placed in the courtyard of the Agios Minas cathedral. They were small and they were based on donations and first small excavations in Crete. The change at the discovery of the Minoan palaces brought about a change, and many important finds constituting the present exhibits of the museum joined the collections for many years.
The construction of the building, which now houses the museum, began in 1937 according to the plans of the architect Patroclus Karantinos. World War II created a huge threat to the museum's ancient collections, but they survived thanks to the efforts made by Professor Nikolaos Plato. It was Plato who oversaw the re-exhibition of the treasures of the museum when they were opened in 1952 to the public. This is not the only merit of this archaeologist. A few years after the museum was opened, he undertook intensive work at the palace in Zakros .
In the early years of the museum's activity, the exhibition presented the chronological development of the Minoan civilization in Crete, the history of archaeological research and the great discoveries of the Minoan palaces from the beginning of the 20th century. Over the following years, the museum was enriched with new collections also from private individuals, and in 1964 a new wing of the museum building was created.
The year 1987 brought many changes to the building's systems. New electrical installation, air conditioning, fire protection systems and others have been created. Subsequent repairs increased the level of security of the exhibits exhibited.
Museum after renovation
Between November 13, 2006 and May 6, 2014, another long-term renovation took place, for which from 25 July 2007 a temporary exhibition covering 350 sq m was created, on which the most important finds were presented. The progressing renovation and extension was caused by the change of the scope of works and the discovery of the remains of a medieval monastery in the area occupied by the museum building. Thanks to the changes, the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion has gained new spacious rooms, modern installations and finishing. A glance at these modern rooms, corridors or even toilets is enough to state that the Greeks did the work at the highest level.
Since the summer of 2014, the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion has been open to visitors daily between the hours of 8 and 20, as well as 32 other important museums and archaeological sites throughout Greece.
In addition to expanding the collection, protecting and presenting the Museum, it also organizes temporary exhibitions in Greece and abroad, cooperates with scientific institutions and organizes many cultural events.

Most of the Cretan museums refer to the history of the island with their exhibits, whose history dates back to the distant ancient times. However, this should not be surprising, because Crete is a real treasury full of this type of artifacts. It is worth remembering, however, that the island also has an equally interesting and equally dramatic history written over the last several hundred years. The exhibits gathered in the Military Museum in Chromonastiri refer to this subject, much closer to our times.
If you would like to see how the everyday life of the inhabitants of Crete used to be, then you must visit the Museum of History and Folk Art in the center of the Old Town of Rethymno. The exposition gathered in several exhibition halls, unlike those presented in archaeological museums, focuses in most cases on objects from a relatively close past. Usually, these are things that were in everyday surroundings and were used by the Cretans living at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The Archeological Museum in Eleftherna is still a 'fresh' attraction, which we attach to our map of places to visit in Crete. Even before the opening, it was one of the most anticipated and unique investments carried out over the past few years. What constitutes the uniqueness of this museum is above all the findings from beyond the period of Minoan culture. Visitors to this place can learn about the remains of the Greek civilization described by Homer.
gość dodekanezowiec ...na Majorce czy Cyprze..
Elafonissi Balos Falassarna - tam trzeba dojechać..
Tanie Wakacje w Ciepłych Krajach - all inclusive, last minute i inne 3 razy byłem i zawsze super
Też mnie denerwują smieci, ale najbardziej podejście do zwierząt.
9razy byłam na Krecie, jest super, jeździmy na nawigacji po polsku i jeszcze nas nie zawiodła. Pozatym jeżdżą autobusy, co prawda nie zawsze punktualnie, ale przecież na urlopie nigdzie mi się nie spieszy
mnie denerwuje brak problemów
Aegean Airlines together with SAS ruined our family. We have all 4 gotten ptsd and anciety
Wij hebben helemaal geen probleem met Kreta en helemaal niet met de wegbewijzering daar. Trouwens tegenwoordig heb je ook navigatie zo niet dan rij je gewoon op gevoel je komt altijd wel op een mooi plekje uit en je komt vanzelf wel op een weg met wegbewijzering tegen. Maar wat kan het je schelen je hebt vakantie
gość PiotrWie Wczoraj zaczęło przybywać ludzi na wyspie, dziś ( czwartek) przybyło wyraźnie więcej - przyjechali Grecy na święta. Zobaczymy na jak długo.
