In the Art of Silk Museum you will be guided through the exhibits in the carefully restored neoclassical building. The exhibits are in working order and the visitor will be able to get a taste of what it meant to work in the silk industry from silk reeling and processing machines to weaving with both hand and power looms. Alongside the exhibits there are videos demonstrating the various stages in the manufacture of silk from sericulture (the rearing of silkworms) to the finished product. The aim of the Art of Silk Museum is to highlight and preserve the rich tradition of silk weaving and production in the area. Original exhibits combined with the latest technology take the visitor, step by step, on a journey as unique as silk itself.

The house of shadow was made to accommodate shadow artworks. In the convention hall you can you can see sculptures made from trash, which when appropriately light, they produce recognizable shadow forms.

We were very lucky to have found this place. A unique experience that comes to live with the narration of the creator. The concept and the execution is exquisite as well as the storied behind each exhibit. A must for you visit!

The private selection of the Bouroulitis family, with many exhibits from the folk tradition and the daily life in Soufli of the past centuries created the “Gnafala” Folk art Museum. The word “gnafala” in sericulture means the silkworm’s first yarn, with which builds its cocoon. “Gnafala” is the first folklore museum of the area. It was created in 1998 by the Bouroulitis family and it houses its private folk collection, started by George Bouroulitis in 1970. The exhibits in the “Gnafala” Folk art Museum are divided into ten sections: The home, The woman, The child, The man, The couple, The silk, Agricultural objects, Ecclesiastical objects, Music and Festivals, Military and Political objects.

Mohamed ali's family house is situated on the Panagia Peninsula, in the old town of Kavala. Constructed around 1780 and uniquely renovated between 2001-2004 stands as a highly praised piece of late Ottoman architecture. An absolute must see!

It was a pleasant surprise indeed for me to find such house just next to the Church and monument build under his name. There are gardens around the area which makes it more pleasant for photography.
