Great modern museum, we used the k tel Rethymno bus service visited Akardi monastery and Margarites village in the same day costing around €12 . The only problem was the time gaps between bus pickup.First bus from Rethymno 10.30 am returning 20.15 . Small but with many interesting exhibits. The finds from the site are amazing. Felt the introductory info was a bit self congratulatory. Would love to see how and where the finds related to the site geographically. Wasn't too keen on the videos, but these are probably for a younger audience. Bad experience at the Eleutherna Archeological Museum. They have only a few pieces of items exposed. Explanation only in english. Then we tried to find the outside but there is almost no indication of where to go. So we found some ancient ruins but as you can see in the pictures below it is like they don't maintain it. What it seems to me is that they are happy to take tourist money but not really keen to highlight their heritage. The of Ancient Eleutherna is a must visit place if you ate visiting the general area. A new exhibition called "Picasso in Crete: The Joy of Life" featuring works of Picasso was very nicely integrated into the main exhibition. Wow! Didn't expect that. Go! Read before you go. Luckily, and I suggest that, we first visit the museum, then the necropolis, then the water duct and cisterna. Also it was very interesting that the people are helping you and explaining many many things. Especially to the necropolis. Really you need to read before you go. Beyond The Picasso exhibition was a great surprise when I visited in August 2024. Nice with artifacts and local history is narrated quite well. Loads of additional sites to visit in the local area, would head to Eleftherna for a meal as choices are better The is modern and it won't take too long to go through all exhibits. However, during our visit, there were temporary exhibits from Italy and Cyprus amongst the permanent ones from Eleutherna which was confusing and took away from fully appreciating and connecting the finds to the archaeological site we visited earlier in the day. I hope the curators consider this and set it up in a better way. Unfortunately, we have seen only the necropolis part, but it was amazing. As many artefacts are in the 1km away, it is good to see the first. Also there is good documentation on site, as usual in Greece. Very nice place! Beautiful hidden gem of Crete. This inconspicuous offers broad assortment of exhibits from ancient greek artifacts, to artworks of legendary Pablo Picasso. Apart from museum, the facility offers an archeological site, showing visitors the remains of the city, that once was lying there. Early begginings of human society under your own feet gives a lot to think about, and lets us explore the customs and culture of ancient Greek civilization.
