Reviews
I visited the museum during World Heritage day when it was for free but nonetheless I got the full experience on the Greek army's clothing, history and customs. A full display of all kinds of items as well as a separate sections for the Byzantine period. All in all very worthwhile to visit for at least 2-3 hours!
