Traveler reviews
Jens Krone
★★★★★6 years agoamazing museum, a "must do" when you are also interested in the traditional history of the santorini Island. for a low and fair price of 5€ (adults) you get a personal tour in many different parts of the museum, there are also fascinating caves. it is absolutely worth the price. the guide is very friendly and knows details of the island's rich history.
