Just few people used to live in these tiny houses, centuries ago. That's what is so fascinating. Their needs were simple and they obviously managed somehow in these tight spaces. My tall husband enters with his head bent down, that is how tight and small the houses are.
I remember the days when one could walk through the street freely, no crowds, no entry fee. But tourism has it's price. These days everybody is a tourist here.
I believe that the entrance fee is an attempt to control the congestion and helps to some degree. Any type of shopping in the small spaces is difficult.
Years ago my daughter bought few hand made things, as some of the money was donated to children's charity.
I always return for a quick walkthrough, remembering how it used to be ..in the old days
