Balkan Wars Museum — Attraction in Chalkidona Municipality

So! I’m in a position to contradict this museum on one desperately important non-Balkan Wars related issue of personal significance to me and my family as we sit outside the Museum. It’s a Sunday, and I was the first to be suspicious that it might not be open, but the website and its Google Maps presence declared vey boldly that it was open and moreover, would close at 2pm.

You can see uniforms and armery from all military parties and feel part of the confrontations. Maps are quite extensive and show the fierce of the battles. Those who are interested about history should visit it...
