Maria Sarri, Director of the Aegean Maritime Museum, and board member Achilleas Viliotis join Antonis Karagiannakis on “Saturday Watch”, the weekend special edition of the show “Fair Winds and Following Seas”, broadcast by Voice of Greece.
They speak about their deep bond with the sea, the museum’s history since its founding in 1985, and its vital role in preserving local heritage, enriching Greek culture, and honoring our maritime tradition.
Founded by Mykonos native George M. Drakopoulos and his wife Ioanna, the Aegean Maritime Museum is housed in a 19th-century Cycladic residence in the heart of Mykonos Town, at Tria Pigadia.
The discussion highlights two historic Greek vessels, Thalis o Milisios and Evangelistria, as well as the mechanism of the iconic Mykonos lighthouse, Armenistis. All three are part of the museum’s collection, alongside rare nautical instruments, maps, documents, coins, and more.
