Fikardou Rural Museum

Deserted at the beginning of the 19th century, the entire village of Fikardou has been declared an Ancient Monument, and carefully restored to preserve the 18th century houses with their remarkable woodwork and folk architecture. Two of these houses have been turned into museums, exhibiting rural items and depicting rural life in years past. The House of Katsinioros, which was named after its last owner, is a two-storey stone-built manor house with a steep-pitched wooden roof and many architectural features of the 16th century. The House of Katsinioros along with another important building of Fikardou, the House of Achilleas Dimitri, which has been turned into a weaver’s workshop and scholar’s guest house, have been honoured with the Europa Nostra Awards.
