Museum of National Resistance - Koryschades
About This Museum
Tucked away in the rugged mountains of Evrytania, the Museum of National Resistance in Koryschades feels more like a pilgrimage than a simple museum visit. This remote village was the seat of the Greek government-in-exile during the Axis occupation, and the museum stands as a powerful testament to that defiant spirit. You won't find sterile glass cases here; instead, the space thrums with history, from faded photographs of partisans to their actual, well-worn uniforms and weaponry. It’s a raw and moving chronicle of a nation's fight for freedom, preserved in the very hills where it happened.
Collection Highlights
The exhibits feel intensely personal, featuring original partisan gear like wool capes and sten guns, alongside poignant black-and-white photographs that capture moments of both struggle and daily life. A central focus is on the historic 'National Council' meetings held in this village.
Visitor Information
Given its mountainous location, it's wise to call ahead to confirm opening hours. The journey itself through the stunning Acheloos River valley is part of the experience, but be prepared for winding roads.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a traditional stone-built structure that blends seamlessly with the village, its unassuming exterior belies the profound history contained within.
