Ruins are impressive however there is little to no support at understanding what you are looking at. Suggest you hire the local tour guides or do your research before entering.Full review by Gandalf610

We went today with my 15 year old son. We are from the UK. I bought the tickets on line but there is not a section for under 18 year old so I thought my son would not be charged. When you arrive, it is busy and long queues for tickets at the entrance. We skipped that queue and went to the turnstiles. My son was stopped and told we need an 8 euro ticket for him. If you are from Greece then it is free for under 18 years. Very weird system!

Q:
Can I store luggage at or near the Palace of Knossos? I'll be arriving by ferry in the evening, taking a cab up to the palace for a 6.30 pm tour and then I'll be leaving by cab once the tour is done at 8 p.m. The problem is that I'll be travelling with a large suitcase and a large backpack. Is there anywhere to leave luggage while you explore the palace?

There are guides & an eatery There. I'm confident if you asked one of them, they would oblige. Should maybe have a € offering. The down side of the Palace us that all the artefacts are in …
