Benaki Museum

One of the top museums in Athens . One does not have a full idea of what Greece really is, until one has visited this veritable arc of greek culture .

An oasis of arts and culture in the heart of the city that looks profoundly European! Enjoy the exhibitions and the great view from the café..you are in Athens! <3

There are two Benaki museums in Athens . In this one, the oldest of two, you can see exhibits from ancient times to modern times. You get an idea about important eras in Greek history as a whole.

One of the most interesting museums in Athens !

Exhibitions from the modern history of Greece. Excellent collection of folk art . Don't miss the café at the 2nd floor with an incredible view to Athens. Entrance is free on Thursdays.

Museum for true art enthusiasts! Apart from the Greek exhibits in its main building, Benaki has satellite museums around the city , housing an impressive selection of Asian and Islamic art , must see!

A great museum restaurant with stunning views offering traditional Greek and international fare. We recommend the dolmadakia (stuffed vine leaves ) served with yogurt dip . Read more

Incredible museum - links the classical age to the present. Info is in Greek and English. Audio tour with QR codes is easiest to do in Greek: can be done in many languages but not user friendly .

In an imposing building, the museum presents Greek history through ages, from prehistric to modern ones. Every citizen and every tourist should visit it.

A variety of collections in this museum that one shouldn't miss visiting in Athens. Don't forget to visit the cafe and restaurant and the gift shop before leaving

Amazing museum and must see in Athens. The nurse in itself is absolutely gorgeous with amazing Minoan and Mycenaean pottery right out of my text book-Cafe on 2nd floor has extraordinary views and food

Choose the cafeteria of the museum at the second floor. Ideal for a coffee or lunch break at the city center. Convenient spot with stunning view .

Probably the finest of Athens’ museums . Well organized and curated. A very complete picture of Greek culture from antiquity to the 20th Century.

Awesome museum in Kolonaki, full of interesting historical displays.

A must museum of Athens! Best museum shop of Greece!

Interesting museum about Greece history from prehistoric pieces to modern history and culture. A nice restaurant on the second floor offers some options for a light lunch . Visit the gift shop as well .

One of the most beautiful museum buildings and one of the best "organised" permanent collections I've ever seen.

Great collection, especially on the ground floor so if you don't have a lot of time, concentrate on the oldest stuff.

Late night opening on Thursday until 23:30, with free entry (I believe after 21:00?)

Great collection of traditional costumes

As Athens' window on contemporary art and design, this outpost is well worth a visit. Read more

Интересная коллекция Греческого искусства , особенно хороши традиционные костюмы и украшения ! И совершенно фантастический вид с террасы ресторана! Кстати фредо, очень даже!

Εξαιρετικο μουσειο,ξεκινα απο τη Λιθινη εποχη εως τις μερες του αειμνηστου Βενιζελου!Περιορισμενες οι ωρες κοινου????Ετρεχα σαν τον speedyGonzales για να δω &τις 36 αιθουσες,επειδη εκλεινε το μουσειο 5!

Με αφορμή την έκθεση «Μια Ανάσα» του Avigdor Arikha, είχα την ευκαιρία να επισκεφτώ για πρώτη φορά το Μουσείο Μπενάκη επί της Βας.Σοφίας! Άψογη οργάνωση, τέλειος φωτισμός και εξυπηρετικό προσωπικό !

Самая лучшая часть музея - античность. Туалет находится на 2,5 этаже (найдите лифт и нажмите эту кнопку)

Приятно, что по четвергам вход бесплатный. Людей немного, можно часами изучать экспонаты ???? Очень рекомендую

Ένα εξαιρετικά όμορφα διαμορφωμένο κτήριο απέναντι από την Βουλή των Ελλήνων , σε ταξιδεύει σε κάθε έκθεση του ξεχωριστή .

Vaktim çok az olduğu için sadece ilk katının bir kısmını gezebildim ama çok beğendim ... Ayrıca perşembe günleri ücretsiz...

Από την Αρχαία Ελλάδα μέχρι και την Επανάσταση του '21 τα εκθέματα . Ο τελευταίος όροφος διαθέτει cafe με υπέροχη θέα. Δωρεάν για ανέργους.

Bellissima collezione molto varia e molto ben esposta.
