  Santorini Sightseeing: The Santorini Nautical Museum
Santorini Santorini Nautical Museum 01 This museum of Santorini is over two floors and costs a couple of Euros to get in.
Downstairs is not that good for only English speaking visitors as there is little in the way of explanations of the items. You may also find the display of knots and ‘double sheaver blocks’ a bit tedious. There is also a collection of oil lamps.
Upstairs things improve with the ship figurehead collection interesting. The models of ships are also worth a close look but, again, could be helped by some better labeling. Uniforms and portraits are also upstairs.

Our Impressions:
The museum is of interest but could be designed better for English speakers. It maybe comes off badly for having to compete with the other superb museums on the island.
