Knossos and Heraklion Archaeological Museum Visit

Hi!
I am visiting Crete at the end of June and wanted to visit Knossos and the Heraklion Museum. I know there is a combo ticket but have been having a hard time finding them online. I saw one on getyourguide but I am not sure if it is worth the up-charge.
Is there a website to buy these tickets ahead of time? As I wanted to go to Knossos early in the morning.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

From the Knossos website:

"Full: €15, Reduced: €8
In order to purchase tickets online for the archeological site of Knossos visit the official e-ticketing service of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports at www.etickets.tap.gr
Special ticket package: Full: €20, Reduced: €-
Valid for: Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Knossos"

If you are spending time in Crete would also recommend a visit to Phaestos, another large palace site. It has not undergone the controversial reconstruction of Knossos and is in a lovely setting on top of a hill overlooking the mountains and valleys of southern Crete. It remains my favourite site.

Hello
We are going now in Aug but the website doesnt seem to work, I would just like to book heraklion musuem and the knossos palace separately instead of from getyourguide.
it errors out. Is it because there are no tickets the error message is unfortunately in greek!

We just showed up at Knossos first thing in the morning and bought the combo ticket on site.
