Almost 5 year old boy loved this place!
Our son kept begging to go here because of the cannons out front. I was reluctant, but when it rained one day we decided to stop in. The museum is small but has a lot of really neat old photos and weapons, and some costumes / items of traditional dress. He thoroughly enjoyed it and both he and his big sister were completely riveted by the documentary film about Greece during WWII. It has English subtitles and fortunately, no one else was in the room at the time so I read the subtitles out loud to them (and skipped a few that would be disturbing to a child that age - lucky for me he can't read well yet!) If you have an hour or two to spend and are interested in military history, it is worth the time.

Better Thani thought it would be!
I’m not really a fan of researching wars. But, this little museum had some wonderful historic photos, and a very compelling film that were worthwhile. The stairs are a bit tricky, but worth the climb. The building itself is also something to see, cool historic construction.
