Archaeological Museum of Mykonos

Getting around: Near the old port in Mykonos Town, a short walk from the main harbor and bus station.
Hours: Typically open Wednesday-Monday, roughly 8:30am-3:30pm, closed Tuesdays; check locally as hours vary seasonally.

A small museum focused mainly on finds from nearby Delos and Rheneia, including a notable collection of large pithoi (storage jars) and grave stelae, along with a well-known relief depicting the Trojan Horse — one of the earliest known artistic representations of that myth. It's a useful complement to a Delos trip, since much of what's excavated there doesn't stay on that island but ends up here instead.

It's a modest, quick museum rather than a major destination in its own right, appealing mostly to those with a specific interest in Cycladic archaeology or as pre- or post-Delos context.

A visit takes about 30-45 minutes.
