The good news is that the museum is small compared to some others in Greece, which we think is great as it allows you to explore the museum without feeling overwhelmed with too many things to see. We suggest arriving early to help get ahead of the crowds.<\/p><p><strong>What to Bring<\/strong>: You can bring along a guidebook of the museum that you can purchase from the gift shop, or better yet, the museum has audio guides available for rent. This is a great way to learn about each exhibit and artefact.<\/p><p><strong>Important<\/strong>: Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes and don&#8217;t be afraid to ask questions!
