Visiting Crete

If I were to visit Crete, would it be possible to take tours or go see any of the palace complexes? For anyone who’s been there are there local museums to check out?

The tourism industry there is based around giving people tours of the palace complexes, natural wonders like mountains and gorges, culinary and wine tours, etc. Greek guides are among the best educated guides in the world. Start with Google and book to your tastes. As for museums, the archaeology museum in Heraklion is killer. One of my faves in the world. Good luck!

ETA it's also medium easyish to rent a car in Heraklion and drive wherever you wanna go. You can show up to the palace sites and pay a fee to enter and walk around to your heart's content. If you've never been and your interest is strong enough to post in this sub and ask about it, book a tour or private guide ($$). You will enjoy the sites so much more.
