Things to do in Cephalonia, Ionian Islands: The Best Museums

December 16, 2021 Darwin Bolte

The sapphire waters of Cephalonia are steeped with history. The large Greek island was home to Odysseus, the legendary king hailed in Homer’s The Odyssey. Fortunately, it won’t take you ten years to get there. Explore the enchanting caverns of the Drogarati caves, sail to Ithaca on a glass-bottomed boat or marvel at the ancient artifacts inside the Archaeological Museum of Argostoli, Cephalonia’s main town. Or just hide from it all at one of the island’s many private beach coves.

So nice! Operated by the owner family who also make all the models by hand. The owner and his son also take their time to guide visitors through their museum and explain all details and important things. Not a huge museum, but owned and run by friendly people with their hearts in the right spots.

Corgialenios Istoriko kai Laografiko Mouseio

The Museum's aim is to preserve, conserve and disseminate the cultural heritage and tradition of Cephalonia, along with the elements that give evidence of the Ionian civilization, with the particularities of that social era, especially during the foreign occupations (1204-1864) as well as the portrayal of the island before the earthquakes of 1953.

Always nice when you visit somewhere to learn a little of the history as well as just visit the tourist attractions. There is lots to see here for the modest entry fee of 4€ - the section with the photos of before, and the aftermath of, the 1953 earthquake was particularly fascinating. Well worth a visit on your tour of Argostoli.

Reviewed By tonysmith131071 - Corfe Mullen, United Kingdom

Despite some negative reviews, this is a must, easy to find and opening hours are clearly displayed, detail in the mosaics are amazing, if it was in the UK you would have to pay to see this! You don’t need to stay long as it’s not huge but a must if you have an hour or so to spare
