in strands of cabernet red, saffron yellow beads and amber orange. The smooth and shiny beads arouse the curiosity of the visitors.
Inside the museum, there is a good collection of rosaries and prayer beads that Aris Evangelinos, the owner of the Komboloi Museum, has collected over the past 20 years. They include worry beads used by Hindus, Buddists, Muslims and Christians in different parts of the world. All of them are displayed in four rooms upstairs.
The replicas of the old worry beads are made of red and black coral, cedar and sandalwood, glass, elephant horn, silver, pearl and crystal. Some of them have as few as 19 beads while others have more than 100.
The beads made in the workshop are available in the retail stores. Also, here you can get the unique handmade worry beads. In the gift shop, visitors can also purchase several items such as key rings and worry beads of the period 1850-1950.
