AGRICULTURAL MUSEUM IN PISKOPIANO

The Agricultural Museum in Piskopiano is housed in the old olive mill of the village, the so-called Factory. This traditional place takes the visitor on a journey through the rural life of Crete before the introduction of the modern way of life. Entering the autli of the museum, the visitor can observe the rakokazano, where the "grapes" were distilled for the production of raki, the built oven and the agricultural tools that depict the toil of agricultural work from plowing the land to processing of the wrist. Upon entering the building, the visitor gets to know up close the blacksmith's workshop or "tanner's shop", the maragoudiko, the barrel shop, as well as the weaving area with a loom.
