About Benaki Museum
A captivating journey through Greek art and culture from prehistory to the 20th century, set in an elegant mansion with a lovely rooftop café. Kolonaki is Athens’s most elegant neighbourhood, on the slopes of Lycabettus Hill, with designer boutiques, galleries and smart cafés around Kolonaki Square, and the Benaki Museum and the Museum of Cycladic Art close by. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat and the crowds, and buy tickets for state sites online at hhticket.gr to skip the queue.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Benaki Museum before you go.
