Folklore Museum

Folklore Museum

The Folklore Museum is housed in a 19th-century stone building donated by a local family. Most exhibits were donated by villagers and give you an insight into village traditions. There are photos, utensils, tools of the local trades and a collection of shadow theatre puppets – a sort of Mediterranean Punch and Judy.
