This small museum contains a varied collection of artefacts relating to Cypriot history- everything from prehistoric pottery to lace and antique maps. Even if you're on a sun and sand holiday, do pop in for a little culture. The star exhibit is the 'Howling Man',...More

Cyprus history is quite ancient and this is your first impression when you browse through this small museum. It is well organized and well kept. Worth a short visit.

Family house

Once belonging to a very rich family the house nowadays is a museum containing real unknown gems. For history-minded people: a marvel. So well exhibited. One can walk from one room into another: everywhere there is something beautiful to see. A must see in town.
