| 'Vanishing Santorini' :
Exhibition |
'Vanishing Santorini' in
Pyrgos village is a re-enactment of a traditional Santorinian
village. Housed in an old Canava cave house, the exhibition
portrays the daily life of Santorini island inhabitants
as it was in the past. Some practices continue till
the present day.
The exhibition includes photographic material as well
as life size traditionally clothed figures portrayed
in typical scenes as they go about their daily life. |
Harvesting the grapes was
the highlight of the economic and social life on the
island.
Everything was arranged to follow the harvest: engagements,
weddings and even debt payments. The people who treaded
the grapes then carried the must to the barrels in wooden
vats. The time of grape treading was a festival and
a celebration. Violinists use to played a harvest 'vedema'
melody and island folk songs.
Journey into Santorini's past by visiting this wonderful
depictment of a traditional village. |
