Theophilos Fresco at the Central Square

A historic café on Makrinitsa's square preserves a large painting by folk artist Theophilos depicting heroes of the Greek Revolution.

Our take

A historic café on Makrinitsa's square preserves a large painting by folk artist Theophilos depicting heroes of the Greek Revolution.

See the work as part of the square's living commercial setting, not a conventional gallery. Buy something if entering the café, ask before photographing and avoid blocking service. Condition and access can change with business hours, so do not make the fresco the sole purpose of a long journey. The folk-art museum provides valuable wider context.
