Folklore Museum of Afytos
# Folklore Museum of Afytos

The Folklore Museum of Afytos is located in the seaside village of Afytos on the Kassandra peninsula of Chalkidiki, Central Macedonia, Greece.

## History

The museum was established in the 1980s by Nikos Paralis and the local Folklore Association using artifacts donated by the villagers. The museum was housed in a traditional listed building dating to 1889 in the centre of the village, which was donated by the Aletras family.

## Exhibits

The folklore collection includes domestic utensils, agricultural implements (for ploughing, sowing, reaping, harvesting), and pottery, which is a craft with a long tradition here. The folklore collection is accompanied by a collection of Karagiozis shadow-theatre puppets owned by the puppet-master Evgenios Spatharis.
