GUIDED TOUR AND PITA-CUTTING
ETAL 2020
The Museum
Our annual pita-cutting day started with an interesting guided tour to the Museum of Wheat & Flour, by archaeologist and tour guide, Konstantina Kontsa. ETAL members and friends were guided in English to this newly created Museum, which is hosted in the listed building of Mill of Pappas.
It is a museum intertwined with the memories and lives of the people, who have lived for centuries in the plain of Thessaly.
Its core theme: the golden cereal, the wheat, cultivated and produced for hundreds of years in the Thessalian land. 
It has been becoming flour since the time when Konstantinos Pappas made the first flour steam mill in the area, in 1852.
The tour around the museum narrates the whole process of harvesting, storing, transporting and processing of wheat, until it becomes flour.
The whole process comes to life through the machinery exposed in the museum, as well as a series of photos by Thessalian photographer Takis Tloupas, who captured moments of Thessalian people working in the wheat fields, harvesting and processing later the wheat in the mills.
It was an amazing experience we all enjoyed the most!
