Ecclesiastical Art Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:58:07

Opposite the custard-coloured Agios Nikolaos church, this excellent museum contains priceless icons, many brought by refugees in 1923, plus early printed Greek books. Look for the heart-rending realism of the lamenting Mary paintings in between embroidered priestly vestments, dragon-dispatching St Georges and delicate silverwork. English-language guide pamphlet on request.
