Fakte të shpejta: Visitors can explore artifacts spanning from the Neolithic period to Roman times, showcasing the rich history of the island. The museum displays a rare 4th-century BC funerary stele carved in the shape of a woman holding a wreath, reflecting ancient funerary customs.
Pikat kryesore: An intriguing exhibit features sculptures and mosaics from a Roman villa discovered underwater near the island's coast, giving a vivid glimpse of life in the ancient past. The collection's unique highlight is an ancient marble head believed to represent a philosopher, unearthed from a nearby archaeological site.
Këshilla të brendshme
- Wear comfortable shoes as some areas require walking on uneven surfaces.

- Focus on the Roman mosaics exhibit for a visually rich experience and skip the smaller pottery displays if short on time.
