Specialty Museum Museum

• ©

Established to preserve and present Greek maritime history, Aegean Maritime Museum occupies a 19th-century building in the center of Mykonos Town. Ancient navigational instruments, model ships, and antique maps tell the story of the country's nautical past, transporting visitors to a time when Greek sailors explored and conquered distant corners of the world. Outside, a small museum garden displays larger artifacts, including reproductions of marble gravestones of sailors lost at sea. A large lighthouse also stands here, reminding visitors of the importance such structures held long before the invention of satellite navigation systems.

  Small museum with many models of boats that retrace the evolution of the "Navy" from the very first boats on the Aegean Sea. The back of the Museum opens onto a green interior patio, in which there is the top of a lighthouse and other navigational elements. The entrance is 4 euros for adults and 2 euros for children and students. It's nice and it changes shops; )

  Μου άρεσε πάρα πολύ. Είναι ότι πρέπει για μία βολτούλα της μισής-μίας ώρας. Νομίζω είναι περισσότερο για τους Έλληνες παρά για τους τουρίστες, επειδή εκθέτει κυρίως ιστορικά κειμήλια και μικροαντικείμενα των οποίων πρέπει να ψιλοξέρει κανεις την ιστορία για να τα εκτιμήσει. Και μην παραλείψετε να δείτε τον (πλήρη) φάρο έξω στον κήπο! Αξίζει να πάει κανείς μόνο και μόνο για αυτόν. Το εισιτήριο θυμάμαι μας φάνηκε πολύ λογικό, και ο χώρος είναι πάρα πολύ ευχάριστος.

  I liked it very much. It's for a half-hour ride. I think it is more for the Greeks than for tourists, because it exhibits mainly historical relics and small objects of which one must know the history to appreciate. And do not miss to see the (full) lighthouse out in the garden! One deserves to go just for him. The ticket I remember seemed very reasonable, and the space is very very pleasant.
