Frommer's Review

Come here to see frescoes and other finds from Ancient Akrotiri, along with objects imported from ancient Crete and the Northeastern Aegean Islands. Some of the pottery -- cups, jugs, and pithoi -- are delicately painted with motifs familiar to those of the wall paintings . If possible, visit both the museum and the archaeological site at Ancient Akrotiri on the same day. Allow an hour here.
