     Treasure Hunt 2017 Lesvos

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ouzo is a living organism that evolves over time. On the premises of “EVA”, one corner is designated to the history of the drink, Lesvos always perceived as a key pillar of its culture. The museum hosted within, awakens memories from times long gone and not only gives information about how previous generations produced ouzo, but also how they enjoyed it. There is the life-size replica of a typical Mytilenian in his traditional outfit, enjoying an ouzo flanked by two old stills from the village of Antissa and machinery used in different stages of ouzo production, along with additional traditional items of the time.

There is a fridge dating back to the early 1900 and a traditional wine press whose origin was lost sometime in the 19th century. In addition, through a large collection of bottles, the museum captures the spectrum of nearly all distillery companies of Lesvos. At the back of the museum there is a beautifully designed space, representing a typical cafe of the 1930s with tables and chairs, through ouzo tasting, inviting you to get to know and love the products.
