Open since 2001, this very interesting privately owned museum in Patitiri was founded by Konstantinos and Angela Mavrikis. Its exhibits are presented on two levels. In the basement, it is a folk museum with an emphasis on the islanders’ way of life in years gone by. The professions, tools, utensils, and photographs generally forgotten today come alive for a while before our eyes. There are historical exhibits on the upper floor, which also includes archaeological finds, as well as the only pirate collection in Greece, which is focused on the 16th-18th centuries. With its many islands and islets, the marine area of Alonissos was an ideal place for a pirate headquarters. Here we will see a unique collection of objects related to pirates--even handcuffs to tie their slaves.
