Fab value for €6. If you take your time it’s probably an hour and a half around. It is worth it just to see the wall paintings from Akrotiri and the beautiful golden ibex. If you have been / are going to Akrotiri it is an absolute must do. Most of the information is in both English and Greek and it was informative.

This is a small but interesting museum with Minoan collections. It worth a quick visit. The museum opens early (8.30) but closes very early as well (15.30). The museum employee was not nice and said that I could not take a photo with a huge vase since it was "posing" (I was just standing nearby to show the vase's size)! Then he proceeded to follow us to other rooms to prevent "an offense" which was rude. The restrooms didn't work and were closed (how could it be?)

The admission price is 6 Euros per person. This small museum showcases the findings from the archeological site of Akrotiri, not too far from Fira. Majority of the artifacts consists of clay pots, urns and ancient kitchen utensils. If you are not a history buff, you might want to give this a miss. The washrooms worked perfectly fine during my visit, it is a unisex washroom.

Take a break from shopping in Fira to see some culture. Not sure why it says the museum is closed but we were there recently. Beautiful frescos and artifacts. Learn about the Minoans and the amazing culture. Well worth the visit.

This small museum is of international importance and could easily be missed. It’s worth an hour or so of your time, especially you are planning to see the excavations at Akrotiri ( we’d recommend the museum first, then the excavations, which make more sense when you’ve seen the museum’s exhibition). Contained in this modest space are some of humanity’s greatest treasures, hinting at life in Europe before the greatest Pharaohs of ancient Egypt and over 1000 years before the Parthenon was built in Athens. The artefacts and wall frescoes presented here will force you to rethink your understanding of what ‘modern society’ means. This is one of the world’s special places. Go if you can.

Nice small museum. Interesting facts about the island and its volcanic history. Really nice exhibits. One staff member a bit overbearing and rechecking tickets while we already inside - unnecessary and a bit passive aggressive.
