The Open Air Water-Power Museum, in Dimitsana (Peloponnese), highlights the importance of water-power in traditional society. Focusing on the main pre-industrial techniques that take advantage of water to produce a variety of goods, it links them to the history and daily life of the local society over the ages. The Open Air Water-Power Museum has restored traditional installations and water-powered mechanisms. The workshops are surrounded by thick vegetation and abundant running water, where you can go for a walk. Their permanent equipment has been repaired so that it is now in working order.

A surprisingly interesting look at a restored miniature industrial site. The buildings were used for the production of leather, milling and producing gunpowder. The information boards are backed-up with some engaging and informative videos. The small gift shop has some really good work by local designers.

We walked up, down and up again from a site called Ancient Gortys to this nice Monastery. Traveling by car was difficult, said some German tourists. The walk - along part of the Menalon Trail - is one of the best we did. The views are fine and - also fine - much of the walk is under cover of trees. Watch out for the missing planks in the foot Bridges.

It is a nice walk to the monastery with some steps and up hill climbs but well worth it. Be aware that women cannot wear short skirts or short pants and men cannot wear shorts. At the entrance they provide long skirts for the women and pants for the men. The grounds are well kept and one can see the Gardens that the monks' keep. The church had beautiful frescos. Well worth the trip
