Papadiamantis House Museum of Skiathos, Literary museum in Skiathos, Greece.

The Papadiamantis House Museum is a two-story island house in Skiathos, built by the writer's father in 1860. The ground floor has a simple room with a well, while the upper floor holds three rooms and a summer kitchen with its own outside entrance. The winter room, where Papadiamantis died, keeps the original fireplace.

A priest built this house in 1860, and it later became the residence of Greek writer Alexandros Papadiamantis until his death in 1911. The author spent much of his creative life within these walls.

The house keeps the writer's household goods, including some pieces of his crockery. There are no chairs, because people of his time ate and worked sitting cross-legged on the floor. The father, a priest, kept his books and religious vestments in a small room to the right of the entrance.

The house stands in Skiathos town, a short walk from the harbour. Inside, an external staircase leads to the upper floor, where three rooms and a separate summer kitchen open off the landing; the rooms are small, so expect narrow passages. The ground floor has a simple room with a well.

The house has no chairs: in Papadiamantis's time people ate and worked sitting cross-legged on the floor. A few pieces of the writer's household crockery survive, and the ground floor holds a simple room with a well.
