Apart from the Archaeological Museum of Vathi in Ithaca, there is a second archaeological collection, the one of Stavros. This collection consists of findings from the wider area of Stavros village. The small building that houses the collection was built in 1930 and was renovated in 1998 when the collection started to be exhibited again. The 2015 earthquake caused a lot of damage to the building and the museum had to close from 18.11.2015 till 29.6.2016. Restoration works were completed by the Directorate of Studies and Conduction of Technical Works in Museums and Cultural Buildings and the collection was exhibited again by the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cephalonia. The exhibits of the museum date from the Prehistoric times (3rd millennium B.C.) till the Roman period. These exhibits come from four locations on the island of Ithaca: the Loizos Cave, the hill of Pilikata, Stavros village, and the location Tris Lagkades. From the settlement of the Early Bronze Age in Pelikata, the museum hosts clay pots and stone tools, from the Mycenaean settlement of Trion Lagada clay pots, and from the village of Stavros grave offerings from classical / Hellenistic tombs. Findings from the Mycenaean to the Roman era have been discovered in the Loizos cave. The findings are many but those who impress the most are the fragments of bronze geometrical dings of an elaborate decoration piece of a Hellenistic mask that reads “PRAY TO ULYSSES”. This mask indicates that Ulysses was worshiped in Loizos cave and thereby on the entire island.
