This wonderful archaeological museum in Thira Santorini was built on the ruins of a very old museum that was destroyed in 1956 after a massive earthquake hit the island. This museum tells the history of the island in a detailed way, as there are thousands of artifacts from different eras, the oldest dating back to 3000 BC. You will be accompanied on your tour of the museum by a guide who will answer all your questions. This museum can be reached in two ways, the first is climbing the mountain on foot with a group or riding cars and hill frick, which is the way most visitors to the museum choose.
