Absolutely fantastic museum! An absolute hidden gem! If you see this review and are interested in going,don't hesitate! The most enthusiastic and friendly museum staff I have ever come across. To see the incredible ancient technology rebuilt and functioning is amazing. The collection of replica armour on the lower floor is mind blowing as an enthusiast of Mycenaean history!

Fantastic experience. Fascinating to discover all the advanced technology that they already had in the past. Vasilis gave us a free tour of the scientific part on the ground floor and the interactivity of the activity made is very interesting. It has science, music, armory, communication. You can interact with most of the items in the museum. You even go back home with a gift!
