    Well the museum staff was nice, the way rooms are ordered is weird. The rooms went 1-17 and then you can switch to 36.if you go in the regular order up to 35 and they say visit the upper froor there is room 43 only there. It was nice experience.

    The redemption point was not accurate, follow the signs on the road. There were some pieces of the museum that were closed which was disappointing, but it was cool to see. We needed less time here than expected because there was not a lot of diversity in what was included in the museum. I am glad we went to see some of the old statues and vases and things, but it was a lot of the same things over and over.

    The museum has some real gems, and the courtyard (along with seats inside the air-conditioned snack bar that face courtyard through a window) . Snack bar has alcoholic options and Greek sandwiches fairly priced.
