TRADITION AND CULTURE

Step back in time to a Zakynthos of years gone by.

Learn about the way they dressed, their kitchen utensils and other household items, the trades of the time and the tools they used.

See the workshops where handmade woollens and carpets are made using traditional looms.

Zakynthos once had over 50 potteries, learn how to make clay and take the opportunity to create your own work of art.

Admire the workshops and craftsmanship of the island’s silversmiths and wood carvers.

There were 22 windmills on the island, which were used for grinding wheat, and approximately 1000 olive presses.
