As nautical museums go, this isn't one of the best, despite Greece’s long maritime history. Still, it does have all the requisite models of ancient and modern ships, seascapes by leading 19th- and 20th-century Greek painters, guns, flags and maps, and even part of a submarine.

A small museum with great interest. The maritime history of Greece is presented in this beautiful museum, with collections of the Independence War the 1st and 2nd WW and many exhibits reflecting the importance of the Sea for the Greeks.

It was founded in 1949 and since 1971 the building at Marina Zea houses its valuable collection of maps, photographic and archive material, objects and its valuable library.

Take a guided tour of the Naval Museum, which hides well in its halls, and you will see works of the most important seasaws of the 19th and 20th centuries. (Such as Volanakis, Hatzis, Prosalentis, Demiris, etc.), separate ship models to understand the evolution of Greek shipping over the years and important nautical charts from the 16th to the 19th century.
