It's my favourite, the one I always take foreigners to when they come. All in all, I've visited it maybe ten times in my life. You'll find some archeological stuff here, but there's better in the Archeological museum. You don't come here for this. You come for the history of Greece from ancient times to the 19th century, through everyday... More

Very interesting museum at the area near kolonaki. Various artifacts about greece such as ecclesiastical things, traditional uniforms etc. A very good museum i suppose!!!

The Benaki Museum is one of those perfect jewel-box museums: not overwhelming, but perfectly curated. I especially suggest going upstairs and looking through the textiles and decorative arts.

If you have time on your trip, I... More

Obviously by my title, i'm not an art lover... so all art lovers reading this, please excuse me. That being said... Most museums have that one thing... the giant statue, the really cool building design that is just fun to explore in itself, a cafe, gift shop, something. This place didn't have that for me. It had a ton, when... More
