Arolithos Museum of Agricultural History and Folk Art
Arolithos Museum of Agricultural History and Folk Art is a rural-life collection within the Arolithos traditional village complex. It brings Cretan farming and household work into focus inside a constructed village setting.

Keep exploring Heraklion with our travel partners.
Farming tools, household objects and craft displays put rural work at the center of the visit. The collection sits within a deliberately constructed traditional village, so its setting helps stage the subject rather than presenting an untouched historic settlement. It offers a view of daily Cretan life that differs from the area's archaeological collections.
What to look for
Farming tools form part of the collection.
Household and craft displays occupy the village complex.
Useful to know
Check that the museum collection is open before making the short trip west of Heraklion.
