Ah this place was a treat and absolutely bonkers. We started the tour with the artist's brother and finished it with the artist George. His brother was much more charismatic and smiley where's George was very focussed and serious. George's creations are absolutely amazing, he works on them for months and you can see the work he puts into them. 5e for entry and tour. A definite must see if you are wondering round the island and want a 30min detour.

Price: 5 Euro Adults, 3 Euro Children The sculptures are really huge and cool to see. Some of them are made only from one piece of wood. The museum isn't really large. And the owner was a little bit annoyed to show us everything. It's a pitty. To put it all in a nutshell - a 3-Star-rating is fair!

A specialized museum with only wooden products. There are a lot of interesting and beautiful figures and scenery, in some cases simply grand scale. In every creation there is a sense and a story (sometimes sad). The master managed to create unforgettable expats and he has a clear gift. I especially want to note the friendliness of the owners of the museum (relatives of the master master), they can be very interesting to talk with, and their stories can be listened to for hours! Very mature and sincere. By experience, I can say that it is better to plan at least 1 hour to calmly get acquainted with all expanses of the museum. This museum can be combined with visiting the cave Sfendoni Cave in Zonyana, they are not far from each other.

What an incredible man George is!!! The sculptures he makes in wood are so beautiful and alive..... I haven't seen this before in my life. He also gives you a private tour in his museum and talks full of passion about his work and what is behind every sculpture he makes. He uses different kinds of wood and most of his giant sculptures are made out of one trunk. Way to George!!
