Housed in a historic building, the Historical and Ethnographical Museum of the Cappadocian Greeks preserves the culture of refugees who settled in Greece after the population exchange of 1923. The museum displays traditional costumes, household items, religious icons, and photographs that tell the story of their life in Cappadocia and their journey to Kavala. Visitors can see a recreated Cappadocian room, learn about local customs, and appreciate the resilience of this community. It's a heartfelt tribute to a displaced culture.
