No matter how much you love history. A small museum, with not much exhibits. However, the nearby archaeological provides the main attraction A must see place if you are in Messene district since it is one of the most important archeology sites in Greece. The will give you a restored, in considerable degree, ancient city and the state buildings it included like theatre, stadium, gymnasium, sanatorium, market etc. There is a small with 5 euro entry around 600m before the site. The is guite vast and you need a different costing 15 euro. I also recommend you start from the which will give you some initial info to grasp easier what you see at the ancient Messene afterwards. Try to plan your visit, especially during hot days, either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. You need a minimum of 15 mins for the and 2 hours for the if you want to see everything. Get plenty of water, sun screen, hats and snacks since there is no canteen or shop nearby. Some days there are also performances taking place at the ancient theater. You can ask more info at the entrance. Nearby, you can see without a the Arcadian Gate and the Wall fortifications they both worth a visit. Also, 7klm far there is Andromonastiro Monastery that you can visit until 15:30 during summer and no is needed. To go there you need to go to the Arcadian Gate by car and follow the signs. Fabulous small museum, lots of artefacts relating to ancient messinia. The below with theatre, amphitheatre and later buildings is so worth seeing. Beautiful place to spend two or more hours pondering the history! Cool place! Especially the stadium is breathtaking! Imagine how it was 100 B.C.... It was absolutely great! Amazing ancient city and marvelous scenery. The is very big so be careful with the too much walking and take some water, get a hat or umbrella also do not forget to put on sun protection cream. Just Amazing! Spectacular ruins to visit, much less busy than some of the better known sites. I spent a few hours here, you’re free to walk around most of the without restriction. Keep your eyes peeled, I spotted a Little Owl hiding in the stones! Nice area Scenic view. Kids for free. Adults 15. Absolutely amazing day out exploring this significant archaeological site. Exceeded both our expectations. Would advise being cautious at the height of summer on sunny days, the heat can be overwhelming- there is some significant ground to cover and some considerable slopes! Take water, a hat, and use sunscreen. Overpriced for the little it offers. It should be put under one ticket, together with the archaeological of Ancient Messini with a minimum charge extra, so as to complement the visit to the latter. Great service. Huge shoutout for cashier which spent a few minutes to talk about history. Guy in black hood tshirt. One of few places on Peloponnese which historically is well preserved. Loved it! Well conserved and beautiful place.
