Hotels near Aegean Maritime Museum

The Aegean Maritime Museum is the only museum of its kind in Greece, set inside a traditional 19th century Mykonian mansion on Enoplon Dynameon Street in Chora. Founded in 1983 by shipowner George Drakopoulos, it traces 5,000 years of Aegean seafaring through ship models, ancient amphorae rescued from shipwrecks, navigation instruments and rare 18th century maritime maps. The garden holds the still-functioning lantern from the 1890 Armenistis lighthouse and a fully restored Aegean caique. Allow 60-90 minutes. Entry is 4 EUR in 2026; opening hours run 10:30-13:00 and 18:30-21:00 from April through October.

Pro Tip: The Lena's House folklore museum is two doors away on the same street and uses the same 4 EUR ticket - tour both in one afternoon.
