Folklore Museum |
| The Folklore Museum is housed in a cave house built
in 1861 in Kontochori - Fira. The museum is an old winery with
workshops for carpenters, barrel makers, shoemakers and tinsmiths
and an art gallery. There is also a library. Within the grounds
one can discover the chapel of Agios Konstantinos with its belfry
and festivities room. The garden and courtyard offers seating
areas amongst trees and flowers.
The Folklore Museum was founded by Emmanuel A. Lignos, laywer, journalist and
Director of the monthly newspaper ¨Theiraic News¨. |
