Created by architects Suzanna and Dimitris Antonakakis, the Archaeological Museum of Chios is a representative example of Greek architecture in the 1960’s, with the dominance of volumes and the quest for natural light. Concrete and glass blend harmoniously with the local rock from the region of Thymiana, which envelops the external walls of the museum. The permanent exhibition is entitled “Chios, the seaside city of Inopion” and includes representative artifacts related to art and everyday life in Chios, dating from the Late Neolithic period when the earliest evidence of human presence in the island was found up to the late Roman period. All these finds reveal the role played by Chios in antiquity. At the museum’s yard, the visitor can admire a restored ‘Macedonian type’ tomb. The Archaeological Museum opens its doors daily, except for Tuesdays, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during winter months and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during summer months. The full ticket costs 2 Euros and the reduced ticket 1 Euro.
