THE MUSEUM

The respect and admiration that Giorge Tzivanis felt for the way of life of previous generations gave him the idea to start collecting, from a very young age, various items from people’s everyday life.

Year after year this effort became greater.  It found support and contribution from his wife Chrissie and while travelling for business purposes to many parts of the world, they managed to compile a great deal of artefacts so as to create a museum with a worldwide collection.

This museum, which is recognised by the Ministry of Education in Greece, offers the visitor the opportunity to admire a vast collection of winemaking tools, such as a wine press, grape crushers, distillation devices, openers, barrel making tools, viniculture tools, sprinklers and more.

The visitor will also find olive oil mills, presses and jars.  Moreover there is a unique collection of scales weights, flat irons and many more artefacts concerning sowing, textiles musical instruments, the history of glass and so on.

Every artefact has its own story to tell.
