ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF PIRAEUS

Restored in 1988, it contains ancient finds from the city of Piraeus, nearby Moschato and Kallithea, as well as the coastal areas of Attica and the islands of the Saronic Gulf. Artifacts from the Mycenaean and Roman periods unearthed from the bottom of the surrounding sea are housed here too. The museum’s collection offers insight into the significance Piraeus throughout Greece’s history. Four large rooms on the ground floor are dedicated to finds from several cemeteries. The top floor contains a multitude of exquisite bronze statues among them the statue of Apollo, two statues of Artemis and one of Athena, and the only archaic bronze Kouros in existence. Don’t miss the massive reconstruction of the mausoleum of Nikeratos and his son Polyxenos.
