The Angelos and Eva Sikelianos Museum
About
The road that leads steeply uphill through the village of Delphi ends at the handsome stone-and-brick Sikelianos home, now a museum commemorating the work of the eccentric Greek poet Sikelianos and his equally eccentric American wife, Eva Palmer. The couple's attempts to revive the Pythian Games were not long-lived, but their staging of Greek tragedies in Delphi's theater in the 1930s had lasting effects, as all who have seen plays performed here or at the theater at Epidaurus know. Few tourists visit this elegant home, which has spectacular views from most windows, a fine collection of Sikelianos-designed costumes, and the nicest bathroom in town. A pleasant place to spend an hour.
