folegandros-ecological and folklore museum好玩吗-景点地址图片介绍-八度伴旅网

This folklore museum is OK, but really is only for hardcore history buffs. Otherwise, it serves as a key photo op location because its view back to the main cliff is fantastic. Unfortunately in recent years, an additional building which seems residential has been constructed directly in front of what used to be a clear shot. Sigh.....I am done. The end.

Very interesting to see how people lived on the island in the 17th century to not long agoNot really a museum as such and really takes half an hour to see it all - donation onlyVery informative English speaking guide(who travelled on the bus from Chora with us!) But, it is out of the 'village' and there isn't a bus back for 3 hours! We ended walking back to Chora - it took 1 hour !It was interesting though!

The museum is located in Ano Meria. This summer it is open from 17:00-20:00. The museum opening hours can be found next to the bus timetables at Karavostasis and Chora. To get to the museum you can take the bus from Chora to Ano Meria. Alternatively, you can get there on foot from Chora (~one hour and a half). We walked from the museum to Chora. The scenery is very beautiful, however, you should be careful of passing cars.It might be a little difficult to find the museum in spite of the signs that are intended to lead you there. After the first bus stop in Ano Meria you have to turn left. Then you have to turn right into a dirt road. The museum is located near a chapel (both are visible, there are three flags on the first building of the museum).The museum is an opportunity to learn about everyday life on the island in the past: how they dressed, washed their clothes, build their houses, stored rain water, protected their fruit bearing trees from the strong winds, made wine, oil etc. There are two houses: one older from the era that pirates still roamed the Aegean Sea and one newer (~19th century). Clothing, tools, everyday life objects and furniture from several eras are exhibited. There is a donation box (no entrance fee). The lady at the museum gives you a tour and explains everything. She is very helpful and eager to answer questions.A great experience!

This should be renamed the Folegandros Living History museum, not the folklore museum. It has well-preserved homes, tools, and cooking equipment from the last few centuries. The guide did a great job of explaining how people used to live on the island before electricity or cars. It was very informative. You do have to hike up a gravel road or path (don't take the path unless you want a workout!), so this is not easy to get to from the bus stop if you are disabled or have mobility issues. We had a baby in a very sturdy jogging stroller and were fine, but I wouldn't take a regular city stroller on the gravel road. Overall, this was a pleasant surprise!

Irene (or Haris) will guide you into the difficult everyday life in post Folegandros. Very nice work, very nice place, very accurate transfer to previous years...

A worth visit outdoor museum that introduces you to the way people in Folegandros used to live back to 100 and 150 years ago when the population to the island reaching the 10.000 people!! You can learn many things in that museum. Did you know that Folegandros has the longest 'xerolithia' masonry in all Mediterranean?

We had trouble finding the museum but it was worth it - there is an older lady who showed us round with a notebook to help her communicate in English to us which she did very well. She was also keen to take a photo of us with our camera! No fee but a collection box is there to show your appreciation.

You can access the museum in the afternoons; take the bus to Ano Meria form Chora at around 5pm and you'll find the friendly lady who acts as tour guide is on the same bus! She stays there between 5-8pm every day and will gladly give you a tour a a perfectly maintained 200 year old Cycladic home including threshing mill, olive press etc.

This folklore museum is challenging to find, but well worth it if the owner is available and gives you a tour. You will see how Greek islanders lived in a subsistence fashion. You will see an olive press, wine press, wood fired bakery oven, farm implements, and a fully furnished home complete with crib and baby clothing. Donations are excepted, and the host is an elderly man who communicates quite well, even tho he does not speak English!
