Eleftherios Venizelos Museum of Chalepa

The two-story building features service rooms and bedrooms on the ground floor, with formal reception areas accessible through wooden and stone staircases on the first floor.

The residence belonged to Eleftherios Venizelos from 1880 to 1910, serving as his home while he shaped Greek politics before becoming Prime Minister and moving to Athens.

The museum displays authentic furniture, personal belongings, and photographs documenting the life of Eleftherios Venizelos across 18 exhibition rooms on three floors.

The museum, which opened to visitors in summer 2015, operates under the National Research Foundation and requires verification of current opening hours before visiting.

During World War II, the building endured bombardment during the Battle of Crete and later became the headquarters for German military forces.
