Museum of Ancient Greek, Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Instruments

The museum displays over 200 musical instruments spanning from 2800 BC to the early 20th century across three exhibition spaces in the old Community building.

The institution opened its doors in 2011 through the personal collection of Mr. Halaris, following its previous location in Thessaloniki from 1997 to 2010.

The collection includes reconstructed instruments such as the seven-stringed phorminx from the Minoan era and double pipes with air chambers from ancient Greece.

Visitors can access the museum by appointment through phone number (0030) 22860 72000, with the location being a five-minute walk from Oia's bus stop.

Each instrument exhibition includes pictorial evidence of its historical existence and recordings that demonstrate the authentic sounds these instruments produced.
