The compact museum that makes the harbour's history coherent
This museum supplies the context that Kastellorizo's attractive harbour cannot. Displays cover ancient finds, inscriptions and sculpture, early Christian and Byzantine material, maritime objects and elements of a traditional nineteenth-century home. The building, known as the Konaki and linked to the medieval fortified area, is part of the interpretation. Visit before Paleokastro if possible so cisterns, walls and reused stone have a clearer chronology.
Official opening can change by season, holiday and staffing, and the climb from the waterfront adds time. Check the Ministry or local notice on the day and do not leave the visit to the final hour before a ferry. Historic floors, stairs and circulation may constrain access despite any ground-level provision; call ahead for current wheelchair information. Allow about an hour, avoid flash or touching displays and pair it with the castle and Lycian tomb rather than the separate mosque collection.
