House-Museum of Folk Life Alvazi

In the Greek city of Kastoria there is a museum of folk life, which is located in an ancient building of the XVII century, known as the Alvazi House.

Until 1972, the house was residential, and then it was converted into a museum with household items, costumes of different times, tools, kitchen, wine cellar of local Greeks. Also in the museum you can see tools that are used in fur craft, because the fur trade in those days brought the Greeks a lot of income, which, in turn, allowed to build beautiful mansions.

Alvazi Mansion is the only mansion that can be viewed from the inside. Near it there are many very beautiful mansions, the upper floors of which are residential, and the lower ones are used for household needs.
