n	nomad30de on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small but very interesting little museum with lots of artifacts accompanied with adequate explanation in English and Greek makes for a wonderful little history lesson of the ancient Crete and it's inhabitants. Only 2 Euro entrance.
Ε	Ευστράτιος Τζιρτζιλάκης on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Many things to see with only 2€. The museum albeit small as a building is really full. The texts throughout the museum are very informative.
G	George Smith on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small but beautifully presented local antiquaties especially the fabulous Minoan Kouros figurine.
D	David S. K. Muessle on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Highly underrated archeological museum. When we've been there only one other couple from France was in there. So a lot of time for the exhibition and exhibits. Nicely explained (maybe a little short sometimes) and impressive sculptures and amphorae.
M	Manos Fls on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a small and very interesting treasure! A good way to explore the era of the Minoan Times Crête, with a lot of descriptions of the daily life of the people and their minds. The statue at the entrance is a marvel of art, even today in my opinion. I was quite astonished of the work that has been done to bring this museum to life. Very good job to the archaeological team, please make sure the artifacts are all lit up and the descriptions - in a few of the displays - corrected (minoan - mycenean and so on..)
H	Hanne B on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small museum, plenty of pieces exhibited acompanied with several posters with facts about the finds and the period they're from. Worth the 2 euros per adult (children got in free)
V	Vincent Raedecker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A small but great museum. Not only fans of the Minoens but also children will enjoy lingering through the four rooms full of huge pithoi and well-preserved larnax. The section showing the Minoen cooking methods is quite interesting. And you will learn all about the mysterious ivory kouros found in Roussolakkos !
L	Linda Wilding on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ For the size of the town. A very well stocked and organized museum. Enjoyed looking round at the artifacts and well written subscriptions. Lots of information. Definitely worth a visit at 3euros or 2 if over 60.
