This is an extremely well spent hour or so visiting this delightful museum. This carefully preserved and presented tribute to the tomato processing industry sounds trite but a great deal of care and trouble has been taken to present this conserved industrial history in a fascinating and interesting manner. There is something for everyone; an insight into the lives of the workers whose livelihoods depended on this industry and a reminder of how hard it was to make a living on Santorini before the tourists arrived in this modern era. Everything is explained fully and well presented. Highly recommended.…

Definitely my favorite tour on the island. Its right on a beautiful beach too. The staff is so friendly and the tour guide is so informative. they even run some of the old machines for you and they let you taste the amazing tomato sauce! the gift shop was awesome too, lots of hand made things I didn't see anywhere else. Little advice to the museum - Sell small cans of tomato sauce so us tourists can take them home on the plane!…

Sorry, but not impressed, from the out side the building looks fantastic! like a sculpture, and i was curious enough to pay 10.00 euros each, mistake! My wife was in & out in 10 minute's! I watched a bit of vidio recording & we both left. within 20 minute's waste of time & money.

.good morning the museum includes, if you want , a guided tour. This tour presents the history of the factory, and the production of anhydrous tomatoes. at the same time there are two videos with historical descriptions of the factory's history. if you wanted to ask additional information at your disposal. at the same time, there is a gift can from us. Hope that in your next trip would be able to visit us again.

We found this place fascinating. At the start there is a very good video screen which runs a film of interviews with older Santorini folk who worked at the tomato factory. An amazing insight into what life was like in the 40's and 50's, much more than just the factory although that is interesting. The staff were also very friendly and happy to chat about lots of things. We were lucky enough to meet one of the older folk who actually worked there years ago. There is also a gallery where they display art or photographic projects. Highly recommended…
