The Ancient Art Museum
I am not sure, if this is the best collection of the Ancient Greek art in the world, but surely it is one of the top. We had to visit it 3 times (!), because one just can’t “digest” so much artifacts at ones. We were overwhelmed with impressions.

" Fantastic "
Hello, I visited, for the second time, this beautiful museum last week. It is considered, with good reason, one of the richest works (most of them very ancient and well preserved) to admire.
Absolutely not to be missed and photograph room by room. The Top, for me, is the huge statue of Zeus and the hall full of wonderful busts!
