Re: Achtung:::: auf der Straße zwischen Stoupa nach Areopolis!

Hallo,

ein Zitat aus der Seite über Thalames von der sehr schönen Website von John Chapman "Mani, A Guide and History":

"The main present day "attraction" of the village is the "Museum Des Manis". You will be hard pressed to miss the crude but large signs which dot the road in either direction advertising this facility. Run by a great bearded bear of a man with a beady eye for the main chance (the entry fee is, for rural Greece, rather overpriced) it is more an ill assorted collection of junk than a museum. Indeed I have been told that the owner has allegedly been spotted shopping in the Athens Flea Market. The labeling is at best hit and miss and there is little attempt to explain things either thematically or chronologically. Much in fact has only the most tenuous link with the Mani (prints of Byron, who came nowhere near Mani, and the War of Independence are much in evidence) and the various bits of agricultural machinery dotted around the rooms sometimes defy one to guess their actual use. ...
