Paphos Ethnographic Museum

I like the pestle and mortar though. That's a bit of a change from the broken-pottery-fragment norm.
More Mortars
Presumably all this was found on numerous archaeological digs around the area.
Seen Better Days
They had presumably found a few tombs as well, judging by the cupboard containing some human skulls.
I have often wondered how long a body has to be buried before it is deemed ok to dig it up again out of historical curiosity? 500 years? 50?
Basket Case
If you go to the Village Festivals you will normally find stalls selling stuff like these baskets. You may also be able to see them getting made.
Wheel View
Ok, so we have now walked down this corridor, but only seen rooms that were on our left. We shall concentrate on the other side when we walk back, but first, there is another courtyard to explore.

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.
