Kolokotronai House
About This Museum
Nestled in the Peloponnesian village of Falanthos, this isn't just any old house—it's the ancestral home of Theodoros Kolokotronis, Greece's most celebrated revolutionary hero. Stepping through its door feels less like entering a museum and more like walking directly into the 19th century, with personal artifacts and period furniture that make the War of Independence feel immediate and real. The atmosphere is surprisingly intimate and hushed, a quiet reverence hanging in the sunlit rooms where history was truly made. You leave with a powerful sense of connection to the man known as 'the Old Man of the Morea.'
Collection Highlights
The undisputed star is Kolokotronis's iconic helmet and sword, displayed with a profound gravity. Look for his personal seal and a collection of weapons that saw real combat, alongside family portraits and documents that tell the story beyond the battlefield.
Visitor Information
