Droushia Rural Life Museum
Tools
A lot of the gadgets on display here could have appeared on the old TV show "Out Of Town" at some point. Jack Hargreaves would have had to identify it. Fortunately they are all labelled and have handy descriptions to tell you what they were used for.
Rural Crafts
There was also a display of pumpkin craft, though it was not up to Evi's high standards!
Children's Study Area
As well as the exhibits, there is also a little area set aside for presentations to schools.
Winsome Weaving
I shall finish with a shot of this weaving machine. I have to say I was very impressed with this museum. The quality of the exhibits does Droushia proud, and together with the turtle museum at Ineia and the Geology Museum at Pano Arodes, they provide a great reason for you to visit the area.
A Handy Map
Here is a handy map, showing where the museum is. We approached from Ineia but you can also access it from Droushia itself. What's more, they have finished repairing the road below Droushia now, so access is easier than it used to be.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
