This small yet captivating folklore offers a surprisingly extensive collection housed within two charming, interconnected, old but restored in big degree houses. Inside and outside in the yard, you'll find a rich array of everyday items from centuries past, each telling its own story of local and culture. The price includes a guided tour, which added depth and context to the exhibits. The entrance fee was just €4—a very fair price considering the experience. At the end of the visit, there's a delightful selection of handmade crafts available for purchase, perfect for taking a piece of tradition home with you. A fantastic little find its privately owned just follow the signs in the it is uphill so if you have difficulty walking it may not be for you as there are narrow stairs in the the owner is on hand to offer you information about the place its 4€entry for adults a lovely look around a old house and former mill well the effort in finding An unusual experience with a very passionate tour guide. He talks you through his mum's embroidery story and embroidery school with her 7 children and her overcoming the challenges of losing one arm at childhood. Some parts were comical with his strong enthusiasm and abruptness which also added to the experience. For only 3 euros, its the especially if you are in the area. A really and thought provoking little museum. It's a about a lace making school and shows how difficult was for people with disabilities. The guide spoke little English but was able to impart the of the people in the school, including his sister and mother. It's a part of Greece that will soon be lost, please visit. During our to Karya we went to the folklore museum. It was a very reasonable price to enter and the owner showed us around. Outside he showed us old agricultural tools, tobacco and olive oil presses and traditional fire/oven and an original well. We then went inside where we learnt about the extraordinary embroidery that is particular to the and the lady that taught her pupils how to do it. A really story where you can see how the thread was made from the raw materials and the tools they used. There was a section on how they extracted the dyes from the local flowers and plants. There is a weaving loom and many examples of the embroidery and weaving for purchase. The highlight of the tour for me was seeing the two original dwellings from the village. The space in which they lived and slept, incredible. Another nice feature is the barbers shop that was also in the which is on display with the original cabinet which still contains the hair oils etc. There is also a memorial to one of the Greek resistance fighters from the second world war. I would recommend a to see how people lived and worked in the a few decades ago. Perfect for a windy day,instead to going to beach A lovely experience, the was and we were fortune enough to get a private tour (just due to lucky timing) where Theodore showed us around where his family have been living - it was wonderful to see where he grew up and you could almost visualise his family living there. Definitely a - it is a bit of a trek from anywhere so you'd need a car but it was the €3 entry fee. Thank you! (the cats and dog made it even better!) I really enjoyed this little museum. It was very evocative of the lead living there and the story of it's last resident is quite a thing. Lots of textile exhibits which are my thing as well as all the artifacts of a rural from the first half of last century...really very to put yourself in the shoes of the residents snd really feel what was like. Well the 4 euros each l thought. There is parking 4 about 4 cars directly opposite and quite a lot of steps to negotiate to get up to the entrance and around inside. Great museum, friendly and informative owner/manager and nice to see local traditions in the spotlight. There is a small shop at the end where you can buy handmade embroidered fabrics and handkerchiefs Took the public bus from Lefkada Town into the hills to the of Karya. Had a wander round the and as we were passing the Folklore we popped in. Got a guided tour from a very chap (spoken English was pretty good) who explained some of the exhibits. Made us appreciate the challenges of living in Karya over the years. Entry was shown as 4 euro each but we were happy to leave 5 euro each. Well a visit. One of the best things to see in Lefkada. The entire is full of charm and feels intimate and cozy . Although being the only tourists there, a guide explained to us what the objects there represented and let us some time in between explanations to view the items ourselves, which made the experince feel rush-free. His English was also great! The is small, but one can spend about 20 to 30 minutes there. If I remember correctly ( could be wrong) the ticket price was 4€. If you go there ( which I encourage you to do if you are in Lefkada, Vonitsa or Preveza) you will find a cat being a little guide of its own, going to the bext room in the before you do. At least that was our experience.
