A see, stone and bone tools of the Paleolithic era as well as funeral stelas, signs and coins. In all this collection, we strongly recommend you to admire the small bars carved by the Romans and to deal with the oracle of Dodone. Translations are displayed beside each of them.

Located in the heart of the ancient citadel, the museum was built by the Greek army on the location of a former military hospital, built on the former seraglio of Ali Pasha.

The collections of the Archaeological Museum are on display in a beautiful neoclassical villa in Plaka's central square.

You will see in particular beautiful marble statuettes, typical of Cycladic art from the 4th to 2nd millennia BC. The Venus de Milo is represented by a pale copy... the original being in Paris. Failing to see the Venus de Milo, the Lady of Filakopi (1200 BC) is considered the centrepiece of the place.
