Hidden away in pretty Plaka, the Museum of Greek Traditional Instruments displays 1,200 musical instruments, ranging from gypsy flutes to shepherds' goatskin bagpipes. Exhibits are accompanied by headphones, so visitors can listen to them being played.
The Museum of Greek Traditional Instruments is housed in an unadorned mansion that was built in 1842.
