The Sea Shell Museum of Corfu is housed in a modern building about 2 km before Benitses village, a popular tourist resort in Corfu. This interesting museum is a private initiative of the diver and collector Mr Napoleon Sagias, who lived in Australia for more than 20 years and returned in 1989 to his homeland, Corfu. Then, having a large collection of sea shells and fish fossils, he decided to open this museum, that is now managed by his family.
