Ecological & Folklore Museum of Ano Meria

Λαογραφικό Μουσείο Άνω Μεριάς

A small folk museum in a converted old farmhouse, showing winemaking, bread baking and farm tools from the island's traditional life.

The museum occupies a traditional farmhouse and its outbuildings. The bedroom, kitchen, wine press, bread oven and farm tools are displayed as they once were, and outside are a threshing floor and animal pens. It gives a clear picture of the self-sufficient life of Cycladic farmers. The museum is small, and 30 to 45 minutes is enough to see it. Admission is about €2-3. It usually opens only in the afternoon during summer, and opening hours are irregular, so check with your accommodation before setting out.
