Abdera, GR Get Directions

The Archaeological Museum of Abdera seeks to present aspects of daily life in the ancient city of Abdera through utilitarian objects uncovered in the excavations of the city itself, as well as its cemeteries.

With a strong focus on education, the Museum exhibition covers a long period, from the founding of the city in the 7th century BC to the 13th century AD. The exhibits are organised into three main thematic sections: public life, private life and funerary customs.
