The exhibition is incredible, and the explanations are very detailed. It is sometimes difficult to find the works described in the audio guide.

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.

Very friendly staff... Easy-to-use audio guide in Italian with short and concise descriptions.... The museum is well organized is mandatory visit made even more interesting if we visited the archaeological sites of Athens first..... I always recommend the presence of a licensed guide especially at archaeological sites

On the plus side: the quality and diversity of the exhibits, which were very rich. Areas for improvement: The tour inside the museum, not very coherent (no continuity between the different rooms...) The museum's outdoor bar/restaurant: a tourist trap (ask for the price before consuming, and evaluate the take-away vs. on-site prices).

I paid the extra fee to get the audio guide, only to find out that at the museum reception desk it is given for FREE, made by an archaeologist to boot. You might say, you ripped me off 7€, but rest assured that I will advise everyone I know not to take your audio guide
