Museum of Zakynthian Nature (Agalas)

(Places to visit on Zante)

	10/10
I walked into this gallery for the first time several years ago and I was immediately impressed. The art truly spoke to me. I love the styles, and the artist was able to capture the colors of the Greek nature so perfectly. I'm happy to say that I met the artist himself and therefore, had the chance to tell him in person how much I love his work. I totally recommend a visit!

It was a pleasant surprise to discover an art gallery in such a small village. The artist showed paintings in several different styles. On one hand the paintings were modern, colourful and imaginative and on the other more traditional greek style with typical blue and white colours, but still a slightly different style to what we have seen elsewhere.
We recommend a visit to the gallery as it's well worth a small detour from the main road, we found our visit very enjoyable.

Agalas is well worth a detour. Venetian wells, Damianos Caves (where the ogre used to live and eat the local children), spectacular views of the West coast (great one from the Sunset Taverna), and then this art gallery/ museum. Beautiful art, low prices and a very friendly reception from Dionysios, the artist. Right next to the village church. Light a candle if you want.

Had a wonderful day which was made perfect by a visit to the museum and Art Gallery in Agalas. Where I viewed many evocative paintings which I found very sensual smooth, velvety feelings and sumptuous designs. The painter made himself known to me and we had a long conversation about his work. He also suggested other places that I may enjoy visiting. After my visit I toured the other local sites mentioned and rounded off my perfect day. A place well worth a second visit.
