Karlovasi Folklore Museum
Λαογραφικό Μουσείο Καρλοβάσου
Karlovasi spent a century as a tanning town — the roofless brick shells of the tanneries still line the shore — and this small museum covers that industrial past along with the usual costume, looms and household objects. Pair it with a walk through Old Karlovasi above the port, which is the most atmospheric quarter in the west of the island.
