Practical Santorini guide
Santorini Museums Guide
Santorini’s museums help connect the famous landscape with prehistoric Akrotiri, Ancient Thera, maritime life, folklore and local culture.
Museum of Prehistoric Thera
In Fira, this is the key companion to Akrotiri because important finds from the prehistoric settlement are displayed here.
Archaeological collections
Santorini’s archaeological material extends beyond Akrotiri and helps explain Ancient Thera and later periods.
Maritime and local culture
Oia and other settlements have collections and cultural spaces that illuminate seafaring, traditional life and island history.
Planning a museum day
Opening days and hours can change seasonally. Check the official Ministry of Culture information before making a special journey, particularly outside peak summer.
