An enthusiastic ethnomusicologist has amassed an impressive collection of 1,200 folk instruments, a selection of which are displayed on three floors of a converted house-museum. Visitors have the opportunity to hear the distinctive sounds of Greek instruments such as the gaïda (bagpipes made from goatskin) and the planks that priests of Mt Athos use to summon prayer times using headphones. During the summer months, musical performances are often held in the museum's beautiful garden.
