Archaeological Museum of Mykonos.

Overlooking Chora’s Old Port, this compact museum was built in 1902 to house treasures salvaged from a 5th-century BC "Purification Pit" on the neighboring island of Rhenia. Rather than a sprawling gallery, it offers a concentrated, manageable look at Cycladic history from the prehistoric to the Hellenistic era. The collection is highly regarded for its ancient pottery, grave stelae, and jewelry, all detailing the deep connection between Mykonos, Rhenia, and the sacred island of Delos. Its undisputed centerpiece is the Mykonos Pithos, a massive 7th-century BC relief vase depicting the fall of Troy and the Trojan Horse. It is an ideal, quick stop for history enthusiasts to gain essential context before taking a ferry to the ruins of Delos.
