Historical Museum of Hermoupolis
Ιστορικό Μουσείο Ερμούπολης
In a captain's house in Vaporia, a museum about the city itself: how refugees from Chios and Psara built a port out of nothing in the 1820s, the shipping companies, the quarantine station, the cotton mills and the decline. Documents, photographs and furniture rather than treasures. Short, specific and the right thing to see before walking the streets it describes.
