Legal Consultants in Famagusta – Review – Cypriot Folklore

We wanted to enlighten our readers to a delightful treat for all the family situated in the heart of Aradippou on the outskirts of Larnaca.

It is very easy with everyday up to date and modern living to forget the true culture of Cyprus. In Aradippou stands the Kostas Kaimakliotis folk museum where you will find a building full of Cyprus culture and the way traditional Cypriots used to live it is perfect!

The building itself is a picture of the traditional home perfectly restored and preserved to the highest standard. The building consists of a traditional family living quarters filled with traditional furniture most commonly used by Cypriots but not so much use din today’s living.

In another room you will find the traditional weaving machine which was used to weave the traditional Cypriot silk and woven materials. This weaving machine is still in use today in the old traditional Cypriot villages and is very much a tourist attraction.

There is a kitchen with all traditional utensils and also an agriculture room of course with Aradippou being such a larger contributor to the agricultural sector for hundreds of years and also a room dedicated to all Cypriots craftsman.

It is truly amazing and feels like time has stood still and left this building in perfect condition for the world to see. This is how the people used to live and work and what a beautiful experience into the true Cypriot folklore tradition.

It is definitely a must see and there is no charge to visit the Kostas Kaimakliotis folk museum.
