The town’s small archaeological museum is housed in the rear of the town hall (enter from the side). Founded in 1834 and one of the oldest in Greece, it houses a modest collection of ceramic and marble vases, grave stelae, a black-granite Egyptian statuette from 730 BC, and some very fine Cycladic figurines.
