About the museum
The Natural History Museum of Apeiranthos has been operating since 1966 and belongs to the municipal museums of the Municipality of Naxos and Lesser Cyclades. The exhibition is divided into a marine and a terrestrial section and presents specimens of the fauna and flora of the area.
The collections include an aquarium, a notable collection of shells, dolphin skeletons, bones and the skull of a sperm whale. A separate highlight is a large collection of plants, which resulted from research in the basin of the Perachoritis torrent.
