A must see place if you are in Messene district since it is one of the most important archeology sites in Greece. The site will give you a restored, in considerable degree, ancient city and the state buildings it included like theatre, stadium, gymnasium, sanatorium, market etc. There is a small museum with 5 euro entry ticket around 600m before the site. The site is guite vast and you need a different ticket costing 15 euro. I also recommend you start from the museum which will give you some initial info to grasp easier what you see at the ancient Messene site afterwards. Try to plan your visit, especially during hot days, either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. You need a minimum of 15 mins for the museum and 2 hours for the site if you want to see everything. Get plenty of water, sun screen, hats and snacks since there is no canteen or shop nearby. Some days there are also performances taking place at the ancient theater. You can ask more info at the entrance. Nearby, you can see without a ticket the Arcadian Gate and the Wall fortifications they both worth a visit. Also, 7klm far there is Andromonastiro Monastery that you can visit until 15:30 during summer and no ticket is needed. To go there you need to go to the Arcadian Gate by car and follow the signs.

Η συλλογή του Μουσείου σε γλυπτά είναι ιδιαίτερης σημασίας. Ανάμεσά τους συγκαταλέγεται ο Δορυφόρος του Πολυκλείτου, η Άρτεμις στον τύπο της Λαφρίας, ο Ερμής στον τύπο Άνδρου-Farnese, καθώς και τμήματα από γλυπτά του Μεσσήνιου Δαμοφώντα. Ο Δορυφόρος ανακαλύφθηκε το 1995 στο Γυμνάσιο της Μεσσήνης, και ανήκει σε μια μακρά σειρά πιστών αντιγράφων του τύπου του Δορυφόρου του Πολυκλείτου, που βρίσκονται σήμερα διάσπαρτα σε διάφορα μουσεία παγκοσμίως. Είναι ένα έργο άριστης ποιότητας, που έχει χρονολογηθεί στα χρόνια του Αυγούστου. Όσον αφορά το εικονιζόμενο πρόσωπο, άλλοι έχουν πει ότι πρόκειται για τον Αχιλλέα, ενώ άλλοι υποστηρίζουν ότι είναι ο Θησέας. Ο Ερμής του τύπου Άνδρου-Farnese είναι ένα μαρμάρινο άγαλμα που βρέθηκε το 1996 στη δυτική στοά του Γυμνασίου, το οποίο ακολουθεί πιστά έναν αγαλματικό τύπο που απαντάται και αλλού. Η Άρτεμις Λαφρία είχε ανακαλυφθεί νωρίτερα, το 1986. Απεικονίζει τη θεά με το δεξί χέρι υψωμένο, προκειμένου να ανασύρει βέλος από τη φαρέτρα της.

After 3 hrs seeing the ruins, you will be tired and not want to stop. Stop here on the way Out. The most important statues found are here. It's a 3 room museum and your ticket to the ruins also gives you entrance here. Do not miss the 2 statues found at the estate of the Roman governor of the city once...
