| Archaeological Museum in Agios Nikolaos, East Crete Lasithi |
|
One of the museum's most famous exhibits is the Goddess of Mirtos. This libation vessel is in the form of a female figure and was discovered at the Bronze Age settlement at Fournos, near Mirtos. The museum also contains important specimens of the Daedalic Period (seventh century B.C.) when, for a brief period of time, Crete led the Greek world in setting the foundations of the great art of sculpture for the next centuries. The head of a clay statue of a woman, considered to be one of the masterpieces of Greek art, is displayed in the museum.

The ground in parts is uneven and some of the stairs are more of a climb than a step so wear sensible shoes. Not a place for flip flops.
It also gets hot and some exhibits require you to queue in the sun so bring a hat and sun cream!
The most interesting aspect was a lady who spent all her time prowling around the exhibits guarding them with her life. She shouted at my wife for touching the glass with her finger and then dismissed from the museum a woman who had sat down on a step to rest from the heat.
Best to avoid
