Museum of Cretan Ethnology

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:53:56

This interesting museum in the village of Vori, 4km east of Tymbaki, provides fascinating insights into traditional Cretan culture. The English-labelled exhibits are organised around themes such as rural life, food production, war, customs, architecture, music and food production. Most of the items are rather ordinary – hoes, olive presses, baskets, clothing, instruments etc – but they’re all engagingly and intimately displayed in darkened rooms accented with spotlights. It’s well signposted from the main road.
