Very nice small archeological museum, also they have byzantine artifacts Small and compact. Good displays in Greek and English. You'll understand the a bit better after visiting the Museum. It's include in the entry fee to the ruins A fine collection yet somewhat lacking to what one might expect on a of such magnitude. Such an amazing experience visiting the Philippi museum. Exhibits from neolithic era up to Roman times and of course so much information on Saint Paul and early Christianity. Definitely a must visit and really friendly personnel. The was on the of the Archeological of Philippi. The has 3 floors. Windows and great air conditioning. It was very hot outside in September 2020. They also had a machine full of drinks and snacks. You could see the in an hour. But the could use 2-3 hours. The signs are in English and Greek. Very great for tourists. It is interesting place see when you visit Archaeological of Philippi. It located right next to Archaeological of Philippi. There are entrance fee but On May 18, which we visited, Greece celebrates International Day, when museums and archaeological sites are open for free. Small but nice, i suggest to visit the if you have time. You can do both the and in 90 minutes. Very interesting. Tells us a lot about the history of the region.

For anyone interested in ancient history and early Christianity, the is an invaluable resource and an integral part of the Philippi experience. Amazing place filled with history and definitely worth a long stroll along the atragă and the archeological It's a nice experience to learn so much about Phillipi or Filipos in spanish. They have a lot of marble engravings with decrees from the roman empire. And some marble stuff outside the building, which makes a picture of the valley a very nice memory. The is for adults who are into byzantine and some bible history. The entry fee is 3 euros and for students is free. So the trip is worth it. And the guides speak good english. This is a very nice museum. The entrance fee covers both the and the Archeological of Philippi. After the entrance you first see the archeological site. It can take quite a time depending on your interest. The signs showing the are well placed, you won't miss it. The is not very big. The opening hours a bit short. From 8.30 to 15.30 only. We were asked to come by 15.20 to the gates. At summer time I would recommend to visit the place in the morning since you don't have much shadow. Don't miss the mosaics at the archeological site. I don’t know what’s wrong with the lady at the tickets at the entrance, I want to think is the language barrier but I think she is unprepared to deal with tourists.What gets me mad is that she didnt take me seriously until my dad came. I hate when people do that with the young or vulnerable but I hope the best for her. Also there was anoootheeer problem, the lady in the store didnt put all the things i bought in the bag, but she did charge it, we went the next day very early in the morning and she gave us another different thing that I didnt choose. At least she was nicest.
