El Greco Museum

El Greco Museum

This little museum gives an insight into the life and work of the famous 16th-century painter, El Greco (The Greek). It ‘s about a kilometre out of the village centre, set in a stone house that’s said to be where he lived as a child. It houses memorabilia, reproductions of his paintings and there’s a lovely outdoor café.

All our villas are a bit further away. If you’d like to stay close, here are some nearby hotels:
