The Sarakatsani Shepfold Museum in Zagoria

The Sarakatsani Shepfold Museum in Zagoria: The Sarakatsani people are a nomadic tribe with no steady homes. They are thought to be one of the purest Greek races, being apparently descendants of the original pastoral tribes of Homeric Greece. In our days, the Sarakatsani people form part of scattered communities distributed along the Epirus area. They gather every year on the first weekend of August in Gyftokampos, Central Zagoria, to celebrate their own festival.

Although a few of them are shepherds nowadays, this population still exists and they have created a museum as a living testimony of their tradition.
