Museum of Prehistoric Thira, Fira

Very interesting museum exhibiting all items excavated at Akrotiri. Amazing how these exhibits have been preserved. Information boards in English as well as Greek. Well worth visiting. Don't miss the fact that there are two floors of exhibits. It would have been easy to miss that there is downstairs too as signposting was minimal.

Very small but full. Informative cards in English and a decent description. However, I twice tried to explain to my wife how some of the pottery could be dated by the decoration and I was shushed by the docent. At that minute a guide was loudly describing the ladies house frescos, and I was not as loud as her. This isn't a graveyard or a library. If no one can speak except the paid guides just watch the YouTube at home.

Exceptional frescoes, unbelievable to consider how ancient they are. Better than the ruins themselves. Be sure to go downstairs, it is not signposted, but that has some of the best exhibits.

Really interesting place. Lovely write ups in Greek and in English with some interesting pieces showcasing the history of the islands.

Very neat little museum. Worthwhile if you’ve already been to Knossos, as it has many artifacts in a similar style which
