It is managed by the family of Mr Napolean Sagias who founded the museum.
The museum has one of its shells costing around twenty two thousand USD. It has Haliotis iris, the prettiest of all the shells in the world and a heavy shell called Tridacna Gigas which has weight of 65 kilograms.
If you are fond of fishing then you must go to the traditional village of Benitses. It has beautiful beaches with clean water and captivating mountains.
