Paphos Ethnographic Museum
Library
There aren't many shots of the main building. This is because of the adverse lighting conditions. I guess I would get better results taking pictures on a cloudy day, or even at dusk. The sunlight through the windows was over-powering.
Huh?
This had me baffled. Some sort of flowerpot?
So, what were my thoughts of the museum? I found it very interesting, with a variety of items on display. It was bigger by some margin that the village museums we have visited in the past, though they were free to enter. While I was there, some tourists appeared and were keen to visit the museum, but left rather than pay €5 entrance fee. This was a shame, as it is hardly breaking the bank.
Living Room
I shall leave you with a view of what I presume is a Living Room. You don't see many pianos in Cyprus. You won't be able to play this one, as the rooms could only be viewed from the door. It is fascinating to see an accurate representation of what Cyprus was like in the past. And next time I explore an abandoned village I can be on the lookout for more interesting features I might otherwise have ignored.
The museum is open 7 days a week, from 10AM to 6PM.

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.
