Introduction
The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos sits near the old harbour in Mykonos Town, Greece, close to the area around Panagia Paraportiani, and is a key window into the island's past. Its collection comes mainly from Mykonos and the nearby island of Delos, spanning prehistoric to classical times, with highlights including the third-century BC Mykonos Vase and a fine group of terracotta figurines and grave goods. The galleries are modest in size yet give a clear picture of early Cycladic civilisation. Within walking distance of the town centre, it pairs well with the old harbour and Little Venice and takes about an hour.
