Naval Museum

Excelent place. Outside and inside too. Nice exposition of Naval history. My children and me were fully satisfied. Price is not do high. No cards accepted!!

Perfect for museum lovers and non museum lovers. The museum is small but packed with interesting naval history. And you can climb inside the torpedo boat :)

I appreciated this little museum, with family we spent two hours there. Parking could have been better marked with Signs! ?
