The occupations, productive specializations, daily activities and habits of life, burial customs, religious beliefs, artistic sensibilities and spiritual concerns of the Neolithic community of Diros are traced and monitored in the findings brought to light by the excavation research and today are exhibited in the Neolithic museum of Dyros so that the visitor can more easily approach and understand the life of the Neolithic community.
Dyros cave was used during the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods as a shelter, residence, cemetery and place of worship.
Among the museum's exhibits are exquisitely crafted stone, bone and obsidian tools, exquisite written art, undecorated and embossed pottery, weaving tools, needles and spindle whorls, fine bone, stone and silver jewellery, elegant clay and marble figurines and plenty, excellently preserved human and animal skeletal material.
The Neolithic Museum of Dyros operates next to the entrance to the Alepotrypa cave.
