THALASSA MUNICIPAL MUSEUM

Opened in 2005, this museum (Δημοτικό Μουσείο Θάλασσα/Dimotiko Mousio Thalassa, Thalassa Municipal Museum) is dedicated to marine archaeology in Cyprus. Housed in a modern building, it's pleasant to visit, well-designed and generally uncrowded. It houses shipwrecks from different eras and their contents (statues, amphorae, etc.), as well as a reproduction of the famous Kyrenia wreck. In the basement, a section is devoted to marine life around the island, with fossils dating back 130 million years.
