Hersonissos attractions

Opened in 1992, Lychnostatis Open-Air Museum's collection Cretan treasures is based on that of Yiorgos Markakis, a local doctor, writer, and lecturer. Housing hundreds of artifacts and heirlooms, the museum details the folk traditions and cultural heritage of Crete across various buildings and outdoor spaces. Lychnostatis Open-Air Museum tickets allow visitors to delve into the history of the island as they wander around old dwellings, workshops, galleries, and gardens.
