Archaeological Collection of Sami
About This Museum
Tucked away in the port town of Sami on Kefalonia, this small but fascinating museum provides a quiet retreat from the bustling waterfront. It tells the deep history of the island, from prehistoric times right through to the Roman era. You'll find an intimate collection that feels more like a curated treasure trove than a formal institution. The displays are thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to spend an hour completely absorbed in the ancient world.
Collection Highlights
Look for the intricate terracotta figurines from the nearby Drogarti Cave and a striking collection of Roman-era glassware and coins. One of the most impressive pieces is a large mosaic floor, beautifully preserved and depicting classic geometric patterns.
Visitor Information
It's right on Ioannis Metaxa Avenue, the main road along the port, so it's very easy to find. Check their opening hours locally as they can vary with the seasons.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a simple, modern single-story building with a clean, white exterior that fits seamlessly into the Mediterranean streetscape.
