Maritime Museum of Crete, Maritime museum in Chania harbor, Greece
The Maritime Museum of Crete occupies the Venetian Firka Fortress at the entrance of the old harbor, displaying naval artifacts and ship models from ancient times.
The museum foundation in 1973 by Vice Admiral A. Giannopoulos marked a new chapter in preserving Greek naval heritage through collections spanning from Bronze Age to modern times.
The exhibits present navigation instruments, war relics, and maritime artifacts that reflect the evolution of Greek seafaring traditions across different historical periods.
Visitors can explore the museum daily, with operating hours from 9:00 to 17:00 Monday through Saturday and 10:00 to 18:00 on Sundays.
The museum features a full-scale destroyer bridge and two torpedo propulsion units, along with a 17-meter experimental replica of a Minoan ship at the Moro Shipyard.
