Folklore Museum
I was back out on the road again yesterday for a quick walk up to the monastery overlooking the Pedi valley. From the village square to the main road, up the zigzags and to the turnoff at Ag. Marina, then out along the concrete road, uphill all the way. Back along the same route, except cutting off at Lavinia and walking down through the village rather than by the road. My phone app tells me that was 3.5 miles. The photos tell us that it was warm and sunny, the wind had dropped, and it was a very pleasant afternoon.
I passed by the folklore museum on the way down and took a photo of its opening hours. Apparently, not all of it is open due to lack of staff but what is viewable (the upper part, sadly not the Scala) is free to view. Do go along. I was there two years ago as work was still going on and the curator was about to close the doors for a private tour. We were invited along too, so four of us were given a tour of the whole site, including the rooms that were still being renovated and the Scala (the mansion house), gardens and courtyard. Stunning – or it will be when it’s all finished, if it isn’t already, and when we can get to see everything.
