El Benaki está en mi lista de los mejores museos en Atenas, por su colección, curaduría, atención, precio, iluminación, descripciones, etc. Es posible apreciar piezas desde las diversas eras griegas, como la micénica o clásica, en distintos materiales, usos y tamaños, hasta colecciones de la era moderna, como diseños textiles y muebles de hogar. ¡Extenso!

Un museo privado con una excelente colección de piezas. Hace un buen recorrido ppr la Historia de Grecia (que es la Historia de la civilización occidental) y al ser de tamaño mediano a pequeño no resulta pesado.
