Archaeological Museum of Chania Tickets
Why Visit The Archaeological Museum of Chania?
Located in the heart of the historic city centre, the Archaeological Museum of Chania is a modern space that brings together extraordinary finds from the Minoan era to the Roman period. With this ticket, you'll explore galleries filled with treasures that tell the story of the evolution of Cydonia, the ancient city on which present-day Chania stands.
For approximately 2.5 hours, the included audio guide in English will take you on a fascinating journey, revealing the secrets of the museum's most representative pieces. For example, you'll see the delicate Master Impression clay seal, the larnax of Chania, and the mysterious discs for the weighing of souls.
You'll also admire the elegant necklaces from Cydonia, the mosaics from the House of Dionysus, and the mosaic from the House of Poseidon and Amymone, outstanding examples of classical Cretan art.
Each room will come to life thanks to the narration of the audio guide, created through meticulous research that combines historical facts, curiosities, and captivating stories. The app, which you can download to your mobile phone, includes detailed explanations, maps, and photographs. An immersive experience that will allow you to connect with the archaeological splendor of Chania!
