Archaeological Museum of Pyrgos — Attraction in Municipality of Pyrgos

There are also interactive displays. It’s quiet inside, so you can take your time and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and happy to answer questions.

It's very curious to keep the museum closed on the weekends when most people can visit ... Very...
