    An excellent wee museum giving a real insight into village life in years gone by. Packed with interesting exhibits and in a gorgeous location. Well worth a visit if passing by

    Lovely little museum. If closed and out of season, just call the number on their website. We did this and a lovely lady opened up for us! We came end of October.

    Good collection of village life artefacts, tools and utensils, various bits of interesting information. However the exhibits are rather dusty... Needs better maintenance...

    This museum was a real delight, crammed with fascinating artefacts from Cypriot village life. Free of charge, donations welcome. It's in a lovely setting too, with a taverna opposite and a good children's play area.

    Really excellent museum, a bit out of the way but well worth the visit, free entry they just ask for a contribution in an "honesty box" the exhibits are numbered and there is a corresponding numbered guide.

    Lovely museum full of interesting pieces local to the area. Gives a good insight into the ways of life in rural Cyprus, particularly farming and weaving practices. Some really interesting background history explained too. Well worth a visit to learn about rural Cypriot culture in more detail. N.B. don't forget to stroke Felix, the curator's cat!

    Very interesting experience of life in a rural village, with tableaux representing different aspects of life, and various artifacts bringing the whole thing together really well. Very easy to find and there's a lovely coffee shop opposite which is well worth a visit, too, whether you just want a drink or food as well!

    It's small but interesting. Free, although donations are welcome. There is a small playground beside the museum and a nice cafe

    Fantastic ethnography museum. Hosting regional crafts, items from daily lives in rural Cyprus and local architectural features. There is a play area for the children. Unfortunately it was a Wednesday over Easter, the cafe was closed. It's worth phoning destinations in Cyprus as Google sometimes isn't current.

    Awesome village with a lot of heritage and history. Great people, friendly and accommodating. There is a small museum which runs on donations. Not far from the major town of Polis 10 min drive, it is worth the visit.

    Nice little Museum full of items from the early twentieth century and earlier. Lose yourself in the past. Highly recommend the restaurant on the other side of the road. It's quite cheap and good quality.

  • 5/5 Colin C. 4 years ago on Google
    Hugely informative of an age gone by. Masses of exhibits showing Cyprus life, well set out, very good English guide book. All free, they just ask for a donation. Then go across the road to Neo Mylos restaurant excellent food under a massive tree.

    It's really worth visiting. And the playground for the Kids next to it makes the trip even more fun when you have Kids.
