★★★★★a month agoThis place was amazing!!! Super cool, interactive exhibits and artifacts, including a functioning naval periscope from the 1940’s and a video exhibit detailing the daily life of an ancient sailor. our guide ελευθερία was super friendly, informative, and took extra time to recommend other local attractions. 10/10; highly recommend!!

★★★★★2 years agoA nice small museum with many different well presented artifacts. Very nice and welcoming staff that told us about the history of the museum. Admittance was 5 Euro per person, well worth the hour that we spent exploring the various rooms. The main theme is the maritime history of Santorini, but there's also a WW2 periscope that must have come from a US Navy submarine. I wonder how that part ended up on the island...
