So great! 2 eur tickets (cash only I think). We spent about one hour here. Really interesting, would 100% recommend to the ship. Beautiful and very interesting ship! It was nice to walk on it and very interesting to learn about it. Definitely a visit! every cent! No matter if you are a military fan. The entrance fee is 2 euros which is correct. I recommend visiting this and enjoying a different view of the Port of Thessaloniki and Greece's navy history. Excellent, great museum, awesome spot to see the whole city, very friendly and motivated staff, who answer all question in good English. Highly recommended! Excellent choice for a deep dive in history!!! A live for nautical & war history! Safe for kids, easy access, great views for the city too!!! Don’t miss!!! A must visit. Очень было интересно посетить музей корабль! Такая мощь и с такой историей ! Нас впечатлил каждый уголок этого корабля! За 2 евро это стоит посетить! Детям очень интересно было смотреть этот музей! Рекомендую к посещению! Very nice, interesting, proud and unusual for an amazing price. Almost every part of the you can enter or see. Real serving sailors meet you along the way, ready to help. Recommended. The museum, I really liked it. It's interesting to see what the of Greece looks like. There is a souvenir shop inside the ship, I recommend you to it. We had a positive during our to the Fletcher-class destroyer. It was notable to see the ship's good state of preservation and the extent to which various sections were open for public access. Under typical circumstances, the 2 Euro admission for adults is a fair price. However, we had the benefit of visiting during a Navy holiday, which offered free entry. Parking nearby can be a bit difficult. We were fortunate to find a convenient parking space for 2€ an hour two streets further north, located directly to the left of the harbor area's entrance. 80+ year old Fletcher-class Destroyer turned into a museum. Has a lot of between the US and Hellenic navies. Has some signage explaining parts of the and their function, as well as how the crew lived. Only a few Euros to enter. Recommend if you like ships. stumbled upon this bad boy randomly, always a joy to spend time on a lovely ship!!!!! ticket is only 2 euros, what a steal The most worthwhile 2 euro spent. Definitely visiting especially at the sunset time. If you love you should definitely go. If you don’t, you have to go too 😂 you will learn a lot of things and you will see how the things were working almost 100 years ago. The price ticket is 2€ so you have no excuses. Amazing museum. I discovered it accidentally while searching for more things to do and see in Thessaloniki. Definitely a both for the photos and for the info on Greek or if you ar interested in war ships. The entry fee is also very small in comparison with every other (2 €/person and actually fully it (I actually think it is too little considering all the things you can see here). Homerun! Super experience! Walking on the historic USS CHARRETTE DD 581, now known as the ΒΕΛΟΣ D-16, was truly a thrilling experience. Stepping aboard this legendary ship, with its rich dating back to World War II, filled us with a sense of awe and admiration. As we explored the decks of the ΒΕΛΟΣ D-16, we couldn't help but feel a deep appreciation for the brave sailors who served on board and the pivotal role the played in numerous naval operations in the Pacific Ocean. Each corridor, each room, seemed to whisper stories of courage, sacrifice, and resilience. The opportunity to walk on such a significant piece of maritime was a privilege we won't soon forget. From the moment we stepped foot on the deck, we were transported back in time, imagining the bustling activity of sailors carrying out their duties, the sound of the waves crashing against the hull, and the sense of camaraderie that must have permeated every corner of the ship. Whether you're a enthusiast, a naval buff, or simply someone who appreciates the significance of preserving our past, visiting the ΒΕΛΟΣ D-16 is an not to be missed. It's a chance to connect with the past, to honor the sacrifices of those who came before us, and to gain a deeper understanding of the courage and determination that defined a generation. The is well the time and the fee charged. Also a lovely photographic opportunity. Really nice ship/museum, especially for the kids. Very cool. One of the few ships that had service in the us navy and then switched to a foreign navy before becoming a museum. Don't forget the souvenirs in the back of the Elegancki niszczyciel Polecam Great for anyone interested in military history. Definitely the 2€ admission. Highly recommended ! Same class as in the movie 'Greyhound' (Tom Hanks as captain is not included). Highly recommended for navy / ww2 enthusiasts. A lot of places accessible, unfortunately not all. Really hot inside in summer.
