It was cheaper to purchase the tickets at the location, it also came with free audio tours. If you need Chinese I am sure this app offered it but if English or another European language was okay it was better to do it in the museum. Upside museum itself was wonderful and pre bought tickets shipped the line!

We stopped in Zakynthos on our drive to Athens. The narrow, man-made canal, with its towering, steep cliffs, is visually stunning. Standing on the bridge, the cliffs appear nearly 100 meters high – truly breathtaking.
We arrived late, so we missed the daytime blue-green waters, but the warm, dusky lights illuminating the banks and the long, narrow canal stretching into the distance created a captivating atmosphere. We were still awestruck by the magnificent sight.
No need to take a special detour; a short stop off the highway is perfect for sightseeing and definitely worth stopping for.
