Archaeological Museum of Chios

The Google profile stated that the museum was closed, but on the official website it said the museum would be open, so we called the phone number provided on the website, and the woman we spoke to said the museum would be open until 20:00. Turns out the museum IS closed for the foreseeable future. The website was last updated less than a month before the restoration of the building began, it’s a little silly to not have your information updated on your website since you probably would have known in March that the restoration were to begin.

A very modest modern architectural heritage building from 60's, which houses cultural property from neolithic to classical period. Very friendly staff. Entrance fee is 3 € for adults and 2 € for kids. The museum has interactive boards in Greek/English/Turkish languages.

It is a very interesting museum with too many exhibits, the most in very good condition..All people working there are polite..Its too pitty to visit the beautiful island of Chios and not the museum.The visiting hours are daily from 08:30 am to 16:00 pm except from Tuesday (closed)

not a small peripheral museum. This place is fairly big. And very interesting with all kind of archaeological findings from the area. with many sculptures and potery. Quite impressive the macedonian tomb on its yard. its exhibition is turning rather old and has to be renovated. a nice place to visit unfortunately no photos are allowed. Photos are not just a touristic action its an essential part of a museum visit. The people in charge of the museums in greece have to be forced to understand that the exhibits are not theirs to keep and "rule" but part of the (world) cultural heritage.

This is an ordinary and very small archeology museum. As a museum I didn’t expect too much but still it was really very poor organized. But all of these still doesn’t matter. What matters is that two ladies there always followed me everywhere. I understand that they’re supposed to keep an eye on the museum. But as a person who saw many museums in Turkey and Europe, this was the first time I felt being chased, stalked and treated as sort of smugglers. This was very rude, I just want to say it and not to go with further assumptions.

While visiting the museum, somebody constantly followed us. I wouldnt say that i was visiting happily. When i asked the grey-haired (probably person in charge) about this situation, she told me it was a normal procedure. this is the first time i see something like this and its not nice. anyway the museum is small but nice archaeological museum.

We wanted to visit the museum today. We went there around 15 pm (the museum closes at 15:30) and the ladies who work there had already packed their bags to leave. So they didn’t let us visit… We are very disappointed :(

Amazing pieces of history. I saw lots of archaeological museums so far but here some things I saw first time and very reach of history island. Worth to visit in Chios. P.S: island have lots of old beautiful buildings around and many of them abandoned/not restored. You need more work on that in Chios
