Best Archaeological museum in Greece

A	Alexandros Rapidis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Honestly? The main hall has absolutely nothing to envy from the Parthenon marbles in the British museum. Great museum with a wealth of treasures to explore and from the famous Hermes of Olympia statue to various statues in the metopes of the temple of Zeus that are displayed in the museum. Absolutely worth your time and money
A	Andrew Alexeyev on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great museum. Not so big. You can cover all the finds in about an hour.
J	Jaume Mira on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantàstic places with a lot of history, impressive constructions ruins. Really interesting place for ones like Olympic games, to understand the real mean of Olympiad
J	Joe C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Might as well stop by and see if you’ve seen the archeological site or are near by. It’s very short but has quite a lot of interesting artifact to see and read about. Almost mind blowing to see how old these things were. Did not take pictures inside, usually do not in museums but of course I had to take a picture of what seems to be the guardian cat.
A	Andy Z on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Included in the price if the Olympia Archeological site, this Museum worth a visit, first of all to better understand the history of this sanctuary and the Olympic games. It's modest in size so you won't get tired looking at all the displayed items. Make sure to have enough time for the archeological site as well!

N	Nastia Moskalenko on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the museums of Ancient Greece. There is a bi hall with armor and bronze offerings. I liked the wall with griffons. So unique! and they have a lot of beautifully detailed statues.. with heads!(but most of them are still without noses. But the most exiting thing were the pediments of the Zeus' temple! The place is definitely is worth seeing it!
B	Beverly (Beverly) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a small museum, but so amazing. The museum's collection shows the Greek style and then the transition to the Roman style. A few of the pieces reminded me of what you would see in the Louvre. If you enjoy the Renaissance period, you can see original pieces that were created about 2,000 years earlier. I had a tour guide so that really enhanced my experience.
