Nice experience, nice exhibits that fascinate you IF you manage to find information about what you are looking at.
They have printed cards with the information but they are confusing and the numbering needs updating because it is not visible.
It's also very hot inside

Clearly a labour of love. Good range of exhibits, neatly grouped with clear labels and explanations. A great way to spend some time on a hot afternoon. And who doesn’t like a museum with a pirate section?!

The museum is up the cliff behind the port. Simply go to the end of the town beach and up the steps. Entry 4 euro for adults. Exhibits over 3 floors covering various aspects of island life. Most exhibits have descriptions on cards in English. Worth a visit.

A lovely modern building to house the local history. Really liked the pirate collection and the olive oil section. Also many lovely period costumes. Small entry fee. It could be better sign posted though.

Finally, on our 5th visit, we made it to the museum. Excellent well-presented displays over 3 floors in air conditioned comfort. Particularly liked the examples of piratical armaments from the area.

We visited this small but beautiful building on our last day in Alonissos. Visiting museums is not the usual thing to do on an Aegean island. However, we were pleasantly surprised by this place and wish we had more time available to see everything in detail.
We were expecting a cultural, folklore museum, and it definitely was that. It had a well done floor on how the locals used to live over the past few centuries. But there were other surprises. There was a small, packed , very well designed section on all the Greek wars of the 19th-20th century, with minute details, and thousands of artifacts from allied and axis armies, even including pieces from crashed aircraft and tanks.
There was also an incredibly complete section on 16th-19th century pirate life, better than anything I have ever seen in other museums. I have no idea where all these items came from, but they are well displayed, marked and described. And there was a section full of anything relating to old cameras and photography. If you are on alonissos and have any interest in the past wars, pirates or even photography, do not miss this place.
