This small museum is the home of Eleftherios Venizelos, the man who helped remove the Ottomans from Crete, unite Crete with Athens and guide the new nation through WW1.
The museum is his childhood and adult home while in Crete. They have an interesting collection, ranging from oil paintings to the car with 60 bullet holes from an assignation attempt. It's worth a stop while visiting Chania.
The collection has signs in Greek and English. They have an app with a description of many objects written in several languages.

Beutifully maintained house with fascinating items, all excellently presented with good signage/descriptions/explanations. A must visit for anyone interested in 20th century Greek politics. This was a man who changed Greece and helped change the world. Such a warm reception from the well informed and hospitable staff!

An excellent museum with a very informative guide for the ground floor. Includes a lot of pictures and items of Venizelos and the residence is kept real tidy. It also features interactive activities for children.

This is a well presented museum in the outskirts of Chania (bus to Stavros). It tells the life of one of Crete’s and Greece’s greatest statesmen at the beginning of the 20th century through the house which was the family home. Each room is very well interpreted with information boards in both Greek and English. The attendant on reception was excellent and loaned us a tablet computer with maps and information for each room. Don’t forget to visit the garage where you can see the car which was damaged as part of an assassination attempt in 1923. Entrance 4 euros (2 for seniors). Expect to spend an hour here.
