ABOUT

The Folklore Museum of Viannos was established by the couple Dimitris and Aliki Spanakis, who had a passion for folklore studies and amassed an impressive collection. The museum is situated in the charming and historic building of the old Primary School of Ano Viannos. The building is notable for its location near the natural monument of the Great Platas and for its association with Ioannis Kondylakis, a celebrated writer and journalist from Viannos.

One of the notable architectural landmarks in the area is the Venetian fountain, which adds to the charm of the surroundings. The picturesque watermill adds to the architectural beauty of the area, completing the feast for the eyes.

The Folklore Museum exhibits the diverse folk culture of the broader region within the Municipality of Viannos.
