    An extraordinary music experience in Thessaloniki! We had a fantastic demonstration of new constructed Ancient Greek music instruments. Theodoros gave us a very nice round-tour in the small museum. He told us the music history connected to the Ancient Greece and played the different instruments in a gorgeous way.

    This was by far one of my favorite outings. When I saw this trip, I thought, 'Nice! Just something completely different'. Beforehand, I was contacted neatly via WhatsApp, if I could also another date and then it could be at my own chosen time. That was fine. Lina is great at explaining history and has very kindly and patiently guided me in playing the lyre. I got so excited by it that I now want to play the lyre at home too! MUST DO!
