Wonderful little museum! The lady who greeted us was so friendly and knowledgeable: the building itself is handsome and the collection was moving and really interesting. An enjoyable stop in Oia to learn more about the local maritime history.

A great little place to visit. It has many different pieces related to the history of the island, especially the nautical past. George was very friendly and helpful with getting us started for the self guided tour. A little respite from the crowded streets. €5 each entry.

Such a beautiful museum. Recently renovated and really interesting. Lots of beautiful paintings and photos as well as lots of historical information. I loved the periscope! We were welcomed by a really friendly and informative member of staff.

A very interesting exhibition of maritime objects and instruments for navigation. Quite didactic and clear. It deserves more than a visit. And for us it was a great pleasure and honour the attention that lend us the person in charge that evening. Without his explanation and interest, the visit to the museum wouldn’t have been the same.

This is a wonderful museum and George was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The collection and curation are incredible, I particularly enjoyed the library room and small room on the way to the WC. There is a video on the top floor projected onto a sail which I thought was a lovely creative touch. The lay out of the museum was easy to follow and takes you on a journey through time.

Such an interesting and fun museum in Oia! The layout was easy to follow and the history is fascinating. Even if you’re not super into maritime history, this museum is a welcome reprieve from the heat and souvenir shops of Oia. Also, super reasonably priced (especially compared to some other experiences on the island). Surely would be kid-friendly as well. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous maritime museum tucked away from the busiest street in Oia. Not sure why it wasn’t more crowded but I’m not complaining! Quiet, peaceful, beautiful. George (manager) was easy to talk to and the entire museum was recently renovated.

This was a wonderful museum.George the host was welcoming and extremely informative. He gave a great history of the museum and artifacts. Not only that he took time to bring the museum to life suggesting places to visit locally to experience the maritime history. 5 euros entry is a bargain. Take time to escape the hustle and bustle of Oia during the busy times you will not regret it.
