Although it is very small, votive offers to the Nymphae Cave are there, and some others artifacts belonging to the 800-700 BC times, like pottery and tombstone lapids.

Brilliant museum behind the Square in Vathy, Ithaki. Great bits of pottery and tools from the Aechean era and some great stuff from Roman times. Very interesting. And it's free. And air conditioned.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
