MUSEUM OF GREEK FOLK ART- BATH-HOUSE OF THE WINDS (Code: )

The Bath-house of the Winds, or Hammam of Abid Efendi as it was called, is the only one remaining of the three public baths in Athens in the late 19th century. Dating to the first period of Turkish rule (15th-17th c.), it is located near the Roman Agora and the Tower of the Winds. The bath-house functioned until 1965. Since 1999 (when restoration was completed), it has been a branch of the Museum of Greek Folk Art and  operates as a museum devoted to the theme of historical views of bodily cleanliness, care, and beautification.
