Fodor's Expert Review Vamvakaris Museum

One of Greece’s most prestigious rembetika (urban Greek folk music) artists, Markos Vamvakaris hails from Syros, making this a fitting location for a museum in his honor. The composer is a legend in Greek folklore music hailing from the 1930s and is widely known for his rembetika songs, especially the Frangosyriani. In the little museum you’ll see many of his personal items, vintage photographs, and a passport he never managed to use, all donated by his family.
