Fassolas Museums

About

n the mountain village of Filoti, 19 km from Chora, apart from the cool square with the picturesque cafes and the legendary Platanos (plane tree), the beautiful parish church of "Panagia Filotissa”, the Venetian Tower, the cobbled alleys, and the beautiful traditional houses with gates and flowers, what will surely fascinate the visitor is the Old Commercial Neighbourhood of Fassolas, where the shops have been recently restored with a lot of passion, love and intense interest in the preservation of the image and the tradition of the place. Before the construction of the main road Chora - Apiranthos, the neighbourhood of Fassolas was the centre of commerce, crafts and social events of Filoti. In the neighbourhood there were small business premises, such as grocery stores, cloth and dowry shops, bakery, tailor shop, shoemaker's shop, blacksmith shop, carpentry shop, olive mills, «raki» distillery, cafes, etc.
