Folklore Museum of Kymi
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street, this place feels more like stepping into a local yiayia's attic than a formal museum. It all started back in the 1960s when a teacher began saving everyday objects from being lost to time. You'll find everything from beautifully carved wooden looms and traditional wedding dresses to old farming tools, each with its own story. The air smells faintly of wood and old textiles, making the past feel incredibly close.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunningly detailed Kymiot bride's costume with its intricate gold embroidery, and don't miss the recreated weaver's workshop that looks ready for use.
Visitor Information
It's on Paralias Street, easy to find if you're wandering near the main port area. Just ring the bell if the door is closed—someone will happily let you in.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming, traditional stone-built Greek house with dark green shutters and a red-tiled roof.
