The location of the museum is so close to Ferries. We walked all the way there but be careful on sunny days. It may be hot, wear your hat. The museum is so close to a park and a beach. If you have swimsuits with you, you may swim. When you get in there, there is a small reception on the left. If you don’t want to carry your backpack with you, there are locked wardrobes. It looks like museum is a calm place and few people visits there but valuable. There is always a lady directs you during the trip. Rooms are little bit complicated but someone helps, no worries. I had almost 100 photos, the system doesn’t let me upload all. I may try it later. Anyway, the museum is cool, I enjoyed it. I hope you can also like it. Enjoy your trip!

The museum will be interesting for people who like history and archeology. The museum has many artifacts that were excavated on the island, it is interesting to walk and read, comparing it with history. The entrance cost 4 euros, the employees are polite, but it was a little uncomfortable when they followed you and talked to each other. It would be much more valuable if the museum had tours or stories about the history. If you have no alternative to occupy yourself in the city, you can visit this museum.

This is quite a small museum with a limited number of antiquities; however, they are excellent. The main attraction is a superb display of floor mosaics. There are also some interesting stele (marble funerary slabs), some busts and one display case of miscellaneous objects. Not much else. Small, but well worth a visit.

It is a beautiful museum with very interesting excibits. The museum closes at 15:30. I got in at 14:20. At about 15:00 ... the personnel .... hmm .... let's just say that the way they moved around and talked to each other made me feel uncomfortable and not welcome. 5 stars for the excibits and the presentation.

If you like mosaics you should check it out. We were really impressed with how they transferred and restored these detailed pieces. They also had a display of mosaics made by local children, which was super cute.

Πολύ ωραίο μουσείο! Είναι περιποιημένο και ωραία οργανωμένο. Δεν έχει πολλά εκθέματα, όμως αξίζει να το επισκεφτείτε για να δείτε αυτά που έχει. Τα ψηφιδωτά του είναι πολύ καλά διατηρημένα και υπάρχουν μικρές τρισδιάστατες μακέτες που απεικονίζουν τους χώρους από τους οποίους έχουν αποσπαστεί. Ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον παρουσιάζει ο σκελετός μιας γυναίκας η οποία -όπως μας εξήγησαν- πέθανε από σεισμό, ενώ ήταν έγγυος (μπορείς να δεις και το έμβρυο!). Οι άνθρωποι είναι πολύ ευγενικοί και μας ξενάγησαν σε όλο το μουσείο. Επιπλέον, η είσοδος είναι δωρεάν για τους ανήλικους!
