At the central square of the village Livadi in Elassona, one can find the house where the hero of the Greek Revolution Georgakis Olympios was born. The house has been turned into a folklore museum.
Items related to the everyday lives of the villagers are exhibited on the ground floor. Objects for house use, cooking utensils, tools for the transformation of wool into yarn, various farmers’ tools, but also various types of weapons. Climbing up the stairs we face the living room, fully decorated. The fireplace and “koches” (low beds) with rugs, “misandra” (the closet), “sofras” (a low table) and other objects can all be found in the room, alongside traditional costumes from the village. |
