The Capodistrias Museum, housed in Capodistrias' historic mansion in Koukouritsa, in the village of Europoulo, has regularly participated in this event.

Koukouritsa has been declared a Historic Preserved Monument by the Ministry of Culture, as a characteristic example of Ionian rural urban architecture and natural beauty. In the museum's garden, you can follow the outdoor route, where through signage (QR), you can discover stories about the estate, information about its use throughout the centuries, and details about the vegetation.
