See how island households, sailors and trades worked before tourism altered the local economy
This small museum is the human counterpart to the archaeological collection. Household furniture, weaving, tools, costumes, photographs and nautical objects show how families combined farming, trade and seafaring. Its setting within the old kastro matters: objects associated with food, work and dress sit within the dense village fabric where much of that life unfolded.
Opening depends on a small local organisation and may be more limited than a national museum, so verify the day locally rather than relying on an old timetable. The historic rooms are compact and may involve steps, narrow passages and uneven surfaces. Visit with patience, keep bags close and ask before photographing. Pair it with a bakery stop and the kastro lanes rather than rushing onward to a beach.
