Do you know the Cup of Nestor? You can find it in the Archaeological Museum of Pithecusae

The exhibition itinerary starts from the ceramic materials of the Middle Upper Neolithic, continues with those of the Bronze and Iron Ages, before the Greek colonists of Euboea founded, around 770/760 BC Pithekoussai right in today's Lacco Ameno. The two best known findings belonging in that period are: the Cup of Nestor with the oldest poetic inscription found in the West, and the Shipwreck Crater. And, again, valuable evidence of Pithecusan and imported ceramics, Egyptian scarabs, locally made metal objects and even toys. There is no lack of anchors, metal ingots and ceramic objects from the Roman Aenaria.
