Archealogical Museum

At the end of Lithostroto is the Archaeological Museum which was founded in 1957 and it replaced the old museum in 1960, which was destroyed by the earthquake of 1953. The earthquake caused great damage to the building and several findings from the first excavations of P. Kavvadias and the archaeologist Marinatos Sp were lost. After consecutive earthquakes in the region the museum underwent major repairs which began in 1998 and were finally completed in 2002 by the Ministry of Culture. The Museum has three rooms dating from the Paleolithic period to the isteroroman. In the first room of the Paleolithic period, tools found in Sami, Fiskardo and Skala and utensils of the Middle period from the tombs in Kokolata can be seen. In room 2 you will see findings from the Mycenaean period, which came from graves discovered across the island and in Room 3 are findings related to the Tetrapolis, the four states, the way that the island was divided during the 5th centur. Also objects from the Roman cemeteries in Fiskardo are housed in the museum
