  Nice museum with some interesting historical items and information. Might need to police the ticket buying and entry better as the ticket booth is to the side of the entrance and no one was at the museum entrance to receive our purchased tickets to which a few people who hadn’t paid just walked straight through... €6 isn’t a fortune, but at least everyone should pay or donate the same price for the museum upkeep and maintenance.

  This is a well-managed museum. The collections are ordered chronologically. These include ceramics, sculptures, jewellery, wall paintings, and ritual objects. Perhaps their most famous display is the gold ibex figurine, which is unique of its kind. According to our guide, its significance is yet to be determined. I was most impressed by the well-preserved fresco and the pottery. As is the case in almost all museums, photography is not allowed. Definitely worth a quick visit when in Santorini.
