OPEN-AIR WATER POWER Museum in Dimitsana (Budget Travel Greece) {Dimitsana, GREECE}
Budget Travel Greece #7
The Open-Air Water Power Museum in Dimitsana could provide a refuge from the chilling weather when hiking the Menalon Trail in Greece.
Cold and wet doesn't sound ideal for an outdoor activity. Yet the rainy season in Greece's Peloponnese provides an ideal time to experience the power of a pre-industrial mill.
Stay warm while Matt slogs for the story.

Dimitsana Open-Air Water Power Museum
The Open-Air Water Power Museum in Dimitsana (Peloponnese) is a thematic museum centered on the significance of hydraulic power in traditional societies as their main source of energy for the production of various goods. The Museum opened in 1997 after ten years of restoration work and is the first open air museum in Greece. It displays fully restored pre-industrial milling installations which operated from the 16th to mid 20th century. Dimitsana's ability to make gun powder made so important during the Greek Revolution of 1821 that its citizens were exempt from fighting. The museum is also a good starting point for several hiking routes down to the Lousios Gorge.

First day of Spring and World Poetry Day as well, and we decided to celebrate both Poetry and Spring, where we all should celebrate, in the open air with Nature, and Spirits of Nature .
Nature is my source of Inspiration and definately is the place whereas I discover my true inner self, a place to enhance intuition and reconnection with Mother Earth.

Πρώτη ημέρα της Άνοιξης και Παγκόσμια Ημέρα Ποίησης επίσης, και αποφασίσαμε να γιορτάσουμε την Ποίηση και την Άνοιξη, εκεί όπου όλοι θα έπρεπε να την γιορτάζουμε, στην ανοικτή ύπαιθρο με την Φύση, και τα Πνεύματα της Φύσης.
Η Φύση είναι η πηγή της έμπνευσης μου και εν τέλει είναι το μέρος όπου ανακαλύπτω τον αληθινό εσώτερο εαυτό μου, ένα μέρος για να ενισχύσω την διαίσθηση και επανασύνδεση με την Μητέρα Γη.

The Water Power Museum in Peloponnese - Greece
It was a beautiful spring day and I was in the mood to go for a ride on my motorcycle. So I decided to take a road trip through the mountainous states of Corinth and Arcadia along with a few friends. In total we spent about 450km and our stops were in Stimfalia lake, in Dimitsana and in Stemnitsa villages. Two of the most beautiful villages in central Peloponnese. In Dimitsana I visited the only Water Power museum that we have in Greece.
