Archaeological museum

The Local Archaeological Museum of Kourion at Episkopi

We include this small museum because after walking among large ruins it brings the objects from Kourion back to a human scale.

From the ancient kingdom to early Christianity

The museum occupies a historic house in Episkopi and preserves finds from the city and its surroundings.

With children, one can first choose a single object in the museum and then imagine exactly where in the ancient city it might have been used.

At the museum we focus on specific reference points: the earthquake, red-slip pottery, offerings to Apollo and Mycenaean gold.
