Maritime Museum of Crete

Reviewed By abager - London, United Kingdom

Everything to do with the sea, from naval battles over many centuries, to diving boots and a collection of shells. There's also much sad and fascinating material related to the British/Cretan defence of Crete against the airborne German assault during the Second World War. Worth a visit. Collections like this need our support.

Maritime Museum & Archaeological Collection of Galaxidi

Reviewed By RVetter2 - Punta Gorda, United States

This museum in Galaxidi is amazingly professional for such a small town. Our visit to the museum punctuated our 3-day stay in Galaxidi, bringing the city's past to life and added a richness to our experience. The presentation spans local archeological finds with a compelling telling of the story of the town's history as a pre-eminent maritime center in Greece. It was fun walking around the docks in this quaint port town after our visit imagining what it must have been like in the age of the tall sailing ships.
