Folklore Museum of Menetes
Λαογραφικό Μουσείο Μενετών
A village museum in Menetes arranged as a traditional Karpathian house: the single raised sleeping platform, the embroidered textiles, the dowry chests, the woven costumes. On an island where the old dress is still worn in the north, this is the explanation of what you are looking at. Hours are informal — ask in the village if the door is shut.
