Askifou War was really interesting. I highly recommend a stop. Their of World War 11 memorabilia is very good. Guns, mortars, equipment of all types used during the German assault on Crete. One gets the sense that the Cretans fought against the evil Hilter machine valiantly but were out gunned with impossible odds. The is very knowledgeable and will explain exhibits. The gift shop at the end has local Cretan products. 5 Euro entrance fee. Die Parkplatzsituation für Camper ist sehr arg. Vor steht ein Baum mit weiten Ästen im Weg. Vor der Rampe an der Strasse hat es einen Platz, welcher für 6.5 Meter Fahrzeuge geht. Besser am Sportplatz parken und die 10 Minuten laufen. Eintritt 5€ was nicht stört. Die Tochter kann nur ein paar Brocken Englisch. Steht dann aber immer neben einem und gibt Schlagwörter von sich. Ein gigantisches Sammelsurium von Waffen, Helme, Ausrüstungsgegenstände und auch Fahrzeugteile. Dann hat es noch Druckerzeugnisse und Verpflegungsgegenstände. Interessant und Abwechslungsreich. Informationstafel in Englisch und Deutsch welche einen kurzen Abriss liefern. Das Internet ist dann schon die verlässlichere Quelle. Nervend wurde die Dame dann in ihrem Souvenirshop. Sie wollte mir Bücher andrehen. Aufdringlich auch das Anpreisen von Olivenöl und Raki. Als sie mir überschwänglich ein kleines Glas Früchtemarmelade für 5€uro verkaufen wollte, hatte ich genug. Very nice little war with lots of material from the major war eras, especially world war 2. Entrance fee is 5 Euro per adult and definitely a short visit. It is privately owned and put together with a lot of effort from the local that set it up. Thanks for preserving a major part of modern history! Huge of original, mainly WWII military equipment of the Cretan Invasion. A must see if you're interested in WWII. Ticket costs 5€ for adults. Welcome raki form the war enthusiast who showes the personally to everyone in English or German. Great place for anyone interested in II ww.

The and his maintain the to ensure that the past is remembered. the visit, 5 euros a person. This intimate in Crete showcases a private of WWII memorabilia, gathered by the owner's father and uncle during and after the German occupation.

Πολύ ωραίο μουσείο,μας ξενάγησε ο εγγονός του ιδιοκτήτη!!Εχει μια πολύ μεγάλη συλλογή πραγμάτων τα οποία τα συντηρούν κ πολύ καλά!!!ο εγγονός είχε πολλές γνώσεις πάνω στα πράγματα του μουσείου.Εισοδος 5€ ,έχει κ μαγαζάκι για να πάρετε κάτι αναμνηστικό. Die Inhaber welche zugleich Betreiber des Museums sind, waren super freundlich und begrüssten und mit einem Gläschen Raki! Das wissen der kompletten Familie bezüglich den historischen Relikten war bewundernswert! The that runs it honors those in their line that perished in the Battle of Crete. They do a fantastic job welcoming you into the and explaining everything to you. The artifacts collected are jaw dropping and I highly recommend anyone with a slight interest in WWII to this location. Definitely a if you’re interested in the two world wars. Many interesting pieces in this private collection. Entrance is 5 euros. The and son of the founder, Andreas, speaks limited English but shows you around and helps you explore the museum. Consider going for a nice Greek coffee and goat milk based ice cream at the Visalo ceramics and cafe nearby afterwards. Lovely place and very friendly staff. This is packed with historical artifacts. I learned more there than at any other I've been to. Every item is genuine, and the staff can tell you its story and origin. Even though it's small, the uses its space well. You can get up close to the artifacts, and the knowledgeable staff make the very educational. If you love or learning, this is a must-visit. It’s one of the best I've ever experienced. Amazing collection, few shots of raki at 11am was abit rough though 😂 realy nice man and women there, he clearly has alot of knowledge, 5euro entry fee which is nothing in my opinion, please remember this os not backed by the Greek government so every little helps! Probably one of the most interesting and valuable WWII displays I've ever seen... I cannot understand why the Greek Government don't support the museum... the treasures within are well kept originals and the journey alone... outside many are of course exposed to the weather, but you still get a 'feel' for how real and gritty it must have been for troops on all sides... well a and a great taverna up on the hill! The personal tour in Greekgermenlish was amazing... somehow we understood most of what we was being explained... even after a few shots of free Raki! Filled to the brim with memorabilia. Absolutely amazing to read articles and see actual guns, helmets, medals, army kits, German, British, NZ and Australian Πλούσια ιδιωτική συλλογή με ξενάγηση του χώρου από τους ιδιοκτήτες ! Noteworthy little if you’re interested in the of Crete during WWII.

The of the personally showed us around this small but powerful museum. His passion for this projected was clear! The artifacts were very interesting and I highly recommend a quick trip here.

If you want to get familiar with a little of crete during the second world war then you should definetly pay a to this museum. The entrance fee is 5 euros. Very good of evidence from world war two On our travel back to Dramia we traveled through the Impros Gorge and came upon this surprise WW2 museum, we were very impressed with the historical artifacts and stories from the family. I actually became emotional while hearing the stories of the day the evasion started in Crete. The is impressive, with a vast of pieces that have clearly been carefully gathered and curated. A lot of effort has gone into bringing everything together in one place, making it a fascinating visit. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. Definitely a visit! A fantastic experience - still run with lots of and a vast knowledge of the German occupation of Crete. A wide selection of collected and donated weapons/uniforms and general period items really helps you get an idea of what day to day life was like for the troops on all fronts. A great gift shop full of informative books and home made Raki! Very cheap at €5 per person and well the short detour! Τεράστια συλλογή από αντικείμενα του δεύτερου (και πρώτου που ξαναχρησιμοποιηθηκαν) παγκόσμιου πολέμου.

The is an ex Greek commando, and me, being an ex British paratrooper (2 Para), caused some real banter between us. His daughter is very knowledgeable about all the artefacts, and his English is good but not as good as hers. I would really recommend this to anyone and it's only €5 to get in with a free shot of Raki and lovely little gift shop. Amazing collection. A buisness with very kind people who will give you much information about the war on crete. They collected all of the items thereselves.
