It is a long drive through a military area after you leave the motorway. The soldier guide gave us an excellent and informative tour in very good English. The extensive bunker complex was amazing and it was very interesting to see how it had been organised and used and quite astounding that it had all been dug by hand. We were also given a good account of the history of the area at the time of the second world war and the battles in the area. After the bunker we visited the small museum at the side of the road on the way out. This had an interesting array of artefacts and photographs.

5. Sarakatsani Folklore Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 15 reviews
important notice: during the winter period and until 30th of April you have to make a call before visiting the museum. The Sarakatsani Folk Museum in its present form is the result of many years of persistent efforts, during which it passed through several phases and received various awards. It was originally inaugurated in 1979 on the first floor of an old mansion in Serres. Four years later, in 1983, the exhibition expanded to the second floor as well, and the inauguration this time was combined with a scientific conference, the first to be organized on the subject 'Sarakatsani a Greek Nomadic Pastoral Population'.
