The Sitia Archaeological Museum displays Minoan artifacts from various excavations in Lassithi, the eastern part of Crete. In the last part, there are artifacts from the Greek and Roman periods. Although the museum is small, it is simply and beautifully planned. In particular, objects from the daily lives of the Minoans are presented to visitors with informative notes. It's just that the repetition of some objects can be a bit boring when visit.

Palaikastro Kouros, the most important work of the museum, whose pieces were found and combined on different dates, will welcome you at the point where you start your tour. Dating to the 15th century BC, this statue is the only known cult image of the Minoan civilization and reveals the high point of Minoan art.

The entrance fee to the museum is normally 3€. The lady who greeted us said it was free as we were young and didn't take any money. He also let us leave our bags at the entrance. We thank you.
