Archaeological Museum of Thasos

Reviewed By Russ5Jersey

Our family of four hired a car specifically to visit the Museum and view the old ruins. We were so pleased that we did, the Museum is so informative and well laid out with amazing exhibits that bring to life the history of the region. There is also a film that helps explain some of the nearby ruins. The museum is closed on Tuesdays and Bank Holidays. Really the top attraction on the island and amazing value for Money.
