The Archaeological Museum, in Limenas
Extensive collections of archaeological
artifacts, gleaned from
excavations carried out at various times, are kept and displayed in the Museum,
regarded as being one of the most important in the Greek provinces. Important
architectural elements, outstanding examples of pottery, sculpture, statuettes,
terra cotta figurines of various periods, coins, relief plaques, amphorae and a
wide variety of other vessels and objects permit us to form an idea of the
institutions, life, mores and artistic tendencies of the island’s inhabitants
during ancient times.
