In the lush Mylopotamos ravine on the island of Kea (Tzia), Aegean Islands, the Aristaios Folklore Museum offers a charming window into the traditional life, honey culture, and wine heritage of this beautiful Cycladic island. Housed in an old stone house dating to 1845 on the paved road connecting Korissia to the capital Ioulida — a building that for many years served as a small tavern — the museum sits within Aristaios’s working artisan estate.
