I came here when looking for things to do on a rainy day. The museum is a collection of maritime memorabilia, mainly model ships but also various item of navigational equipment. Unless you are a maritime enthusiast, it won’t take you longer than 30-40 mins to see it all. Not a must do but if you are looking for things to do other than go to the beach, shop or eat and drink, this fills a bit of time. At €4 the entry fee is not bad and you are contributing to the maintenance of local history.

This is a very small museum. My son wanted to visit it but, and, even after carefully looking at most of the artifacts, it did not take us more than 20 minutes. There are only a handful of rooms with ship models and other small artifacts. There is also a beautiful courtyard with a lighthouse.

Many years ago I met the owner of the Maritime Museum on one of the beaches of Mykonos. I speak a little Greek and when I uttered a few words in Greek to him he asked me: "which part of Glasgow do you come from?" I found out that he had a fleet of ships and that most of them were built in the shipyards on the River Clyde and he recognised a Glasgow accent in my voice. After a long conversation he invited me to visit the Museum which I did the following evening. He began his tour with a commentary about his collection of model ships. He then asked me my surname and when I said it was McIntyre MacKenzie, he went to his desk and pulled out a bunch of keys and opened a door leading to a library of former captains of his ships, some of whom were called McIntyre and some MacKenzie. You can imagine how I felt. The gentleman, George Drakopolous, also had a museum in Pieraeus which I believe is larger but I have never seen. The Mykonos Museum is an experience that anyone who enjoys ships or maritime history should enjoy. Take it slow and ask question so that you can see and feel the importance of the exhibits. Throughout its history the island has always a significant mariner culture. Follow up your visit to the museum with an examination of the statue in Taxi Square to learn a little more about Mykonos and ships and war!

bluntly speaking, is doesn't resemble a museum at all... there is nothing worth seeing inside ... it is tiny and looks like another shop of fake precious things that are plenty in mykonos ...

It is a small but interesting museum, worth to go for 30-40 minutes. My attention was drawn to the model of a ship from the time of Alexander the Great. Outside in the courtyard you one can see an old lighthouse.Important for the history of navigation in the Aegean Sea.
And do not forget that Mykonos island was so small, poor and arid.
Along this museum is Lena's house, a picturesque home of the town notary on the mid-nineteenth century; home inventory was kept in good condition. You can see as wealthy Greeks lived on the island 200 years ago. The museum and Lena's house are in the center of Hora and are very accessible.

We had a tour here as part of a cruise excursion and it was quite interesting. It was very small, so our group had to take turns looking as we made our way through. There is a lot of history here, so if you have the time, it's worth a stop.

It took me forever to find the place. Once there I was so disappointed. There is an admission fee and once in there is so little to see. Two small rooms with little replicas. If you like to read then this is the place for you. I was expecting ships and salvage from ships. Sorry to say those things aren't here.

Not the most exciting museum but worth a quick visit. Many excellent ship models and various old artifacts. Closed for most of the day but if you are nearby drop in for half an hour.

Of the three museums in town, this was our favorite. Had some very interesting pieces, reasonable well labeled, and a beautiful outdoor area in back.

What a wonderful exhibition of Island Maritime history, speaking with the curator it appeared the collection was mainly salvaged and put together by himself. What an effort and an understanding of presentation and history.
