Kapodistrias museum, Historical residence museum in Evropouli, Greece

The Kapodistrias Museum occupies the summer house of the Kapodistrias family in Koukouritsa, Evropouli, about 7 km from Corfu town. The building, a former farmhouse, houses a permanent exhibition of Ioannis Kapodistrias's personal items, family portraits, books from his library, and period furniture. A room dedicated to Koukouritsa traces the estate's history and the house's conversion into a museum.

The estate was built during Venice's rule of Corfu and later became the summer residence of an influential family. The museum itself was established to preserve the memory of this family and their role in Greek history.

The museum preserves the memory of a figure central to Greece's formation, displaying objects that reflect how he lived and what mattered to him. Visitors can understand through personal items how this historical person shaped his world and thought.

The museum sits outside the island's main town and is best reached with your own transport. Audio guides help visitors understand the collection in their preferred language.

The museum's garden covers 1.3 acres and looks toward both Corfu town and Epirus. Its open-air café, built under the pine trees and open April to October, won a 2018 distinction from the Hellenic Institute of Architecture and was shown at the 9th Biennale of Young Greek Architects.
