9Explore Fira’s Museums at Leisure

In high season, Fira’s museums can feel rushed, with visitors quickly moving through exhibits before heading back into the sunshine.

Out of season, you have time to truly appreciate treasures like the Museum of Prehistoric Thera, which showcases artifacts from Akrotiri, and the Archaeological Museum of Thera, with its classical sculptures. These cultural gems provide insight into the island’s history, best absorbed when you have them nearly to yourself.
