Λαογραφικό Μουσείο Λιμεναρίων

About the museum

The Laografiko Mouseio Limenarion was founded in 1993 by the Politistikos Syllogos Limenarion “To Kastro” (Cultural Association of Limenaria), with the aim of preserving and presenting local tradition. It is housed in the old community building in the centre of the village, on the south side of Thasos.

Visitors see household and costume objects: embroidery, woven textiles, traditional costumes, stoves, a loom with its accessories and utensils for preparing coffee. Tools of various trades are also displayed, such as those of the tailor, the barber, the woodcutter, the beekeeper, the shoemaker and the cobbler, as well as tools for collecting and transporting resin, a still for raki and tools for the olive harvest. A separate section is devoted to the tools from the period when the area’s mines were opened. The exhibition also includes the private collection of books and stationery of Kyprianos Georgiadis.
