Log Text: The museum is relatively small but includes many exciting artefacts, most notably the Dendra Panoply. Many of the displays discuss the locations of the finds. This would be a perfect place to visit before traveling to Tyrns or even Epidaurus.

Haroldstown submitted by KenWilliams on 27th Aug 2005. Taken 26th August 2005, just after nightfall. Using flash on the outside and torchlight on the inside, I took quite anumber of shots with this combination and also with single light sources. Not entirely sure which ones worked and which are OTT but I liked this one in particular because my dog managed to sneak into the frame when I was otherwise busy!
