Best places: Archaeological museums in Greece

Reconstructed tomb of a 3rd-century B.C. Greek ruler, with treasures such as a delicate gold crown.

🫤 The old archeological museum had more character. This one looks sterile with gray drywalls. The collection is not so rich, if you compare it with museums like Acropolis museum. The 6€ admittance is a little bit too much for such a museum, it would me more fair to pay around 2€. Unfortunately you wil...

👍👍 We’ve visited a few different museums while we’ve been in Greece, but this is our favorite. Really interesting history/artifacts, beautiful building, and lots of information about Pella and Alexander the Great. It’s difficult to decide on a favorite, but the floor mosaics were really well preserved...

👍👍 Lots of pottery and boring scraps. I am a fan of ancient Greek war history and there was sadly little here that showed the glorious city of Thebes that eventually defeated the Spartans at Leuctra.

Statuary, weapons & jewelry illustrating life in ancient Patras, plus mosaics from local villas.

👍👍 A great brand new museum, worth a visit for sure if you're in the area.

😐 A small museum that was built in the 1960s on the outskirts of the Archaeological site of Philippi and was initially used as an archaeological warehouse to meet the needs of keeping and protecting the finds of the excavations. The building has two levels, 380 sq.m. & 205 sq.m. respectively, where th...

Archaeological museum displaying ancient sculptures, pottery & artifacts related to island history.

👍👍 Very informative and educational about the History of the Preveza/Nicopolis region. Probably need about an hour to walk round the museum. €8 euros for adults, our 5 year old was free. You can then visit other archaeological sites in the area, the Roman Odeum being the best!

👍👍 The accompanying museum to the archaeological site, with finds from it and the area. Displayed well in English and is worth visiting both. They do have a lift for disabled access and I recall it being level.
