Rizarios Exhibition Centre

Zagorohoria


This cultural centre is housed in a renovated mansion. The exhibits focus on Zagorohoria history and culture, with excellent photography. Coffee-table books and embroidered souvenirs are for sale here. The organisation also funds a local crafts school, open to visitors (same hours) on Monodendri's lower plateia just down the lane.
