The Faltaits Museum
The Museum was founded in 1964 by Manos Faltaits and is one of the first local historical and folklore museums in Greece. It was created to save the traditional heritage of Skyros in order to pass on the message to the Greek state that the present and the future must be ‘’attached’’ to tradition.
Historical Journey
