Very nice open air museum that depicts the way Cretans lived in the early 1900s. Worth your penny if you want to expand your holiday with a bit of culture sniffing. Use the audio guide for a better experience but also occassionally stop and take a few minutes to enjoy the experience.

This is the most beautiful place, serene and quiet, with loads and loads of history and things to do and see. Level access to the beach from the museum. atmospheric cafe for lovely coffee and watch the world go by.

This place is amazing. 8 Euro to enter and a short film about the building of it. Then a thoroughly good walk around the farm house, church etc. My favourite was the herb drying room. It smelt delicious. You are right on the beach so you can exit there if you want to.

Picked up a leaflet on the prom and the Museum looked very interesting. We were weren't disappointed. Very welcoming and were told that a video of the building of the museum was available but was being run in German at the time but the lady on entry came to find us to tell us she was putting the film onto English. The visit was a trip back in time to how Crete used to be and everything was laid out in a logical way. Some of the exhibits looked a bit tired (Perspex could have done with replacing in a few areas) but that shouldn't diminish the overall experience. We were there for approx 1 1/2 hours and finished the tour off with a visit to their refreshment area for a glass of homemade lemon squash. Certainly worth a visit if you appreciate a little bit of history and cultural experiences.

A quirky place that is the product of its visionary forward thinking creator. Take lots of discarded, unloved items and give them a new lease of life within a special site. This really is a worthwhile place to visit and wonder around. Wheelchair bound or mobility challenged people may have difficulty accessing some of the site but most areas are suitable. Well recommended.

Our 7 and 5 year old boys really enjoyed this museum. Big enough that there's plenty to see but small enough that they didn't get bored. The lady who signed us in and showed us where to go was absolutely lovely. Little cafe is mainly drinks and a small selection of lunches and snacks. There is local honey to buy too. Lovely little place and very good value. Would recommend. The mini (8min) cinema detailing how the site was constructed was interesting and suitable for the children to watch and understand too. It was available in several languages.

Amazing Museum, been to a lot of museums but this was absolutely beautiful, so picturesque and well preserved. My kids aged 12, 8 and 6 had a great time exploring the grounds. The cafe was lovely with free wifi. The growing fruit trees with fruit on them, how people lived in crete and the beautiful landscape was so great. We spent a good 3 hours there.

We are literally staying opposite this place, and it is run by the same people who own the apartment we are staying in. Lovely little open-air museum, with lots of facts and history. Really enjoyed the walk around and bought some homemade extra virgin olive oil. Way cheaper than getting it in the UK. It's definitely worth a visit. Very friendly staff.

This open-air museum is the brain child of one man. He slowly built a reconstructed Cretan settlement complete with old house, church, windmill, school room, small local industries etc. We enjoyed wandering around with our audio guide listening to a short piece about each point of interest.

Visited here with my partner after seeing reviews on Trip Advisor. We spent a good 2 to 2 1/2 hours here, using the audio guide. A fascinating experience - great to get an insight into traditional Cretan life. Cafe was a welcome relief at the end as it was very hot looking around. Good price drinks and the menu looked good, although we didn't eat there. Definitely worth a trip.
