Paphos Ethnographic Museum
More Information
There were a fair number of information signs here. I won't reproduce them as it would take too long.
Typical Bedroom
The first room on the left (I went in a clockwise direction) was a nice bedroom. I imagine this will keep you warm through the winter nights, though if you lived in the mountains of the hills above Paphos you might want a thicker blanket.
Typical Clothes
You could also see a fair amount of clothing on display.
Night Lights
These lamps would have been important too. Electricity wasn't rolled out to a lot of villages until the middle of the last century. If you ever visit an abandoned village, look at the ceiling of one of the houses. You will often see a ring, which was where you were supposed to hang a night light from.
Farm Implements
There was also a lot of farm machinery and tools on display. What do you think this is for?

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.
