  • Local lace and silverware.

  • An award-winning vernacular history museum is housed in a fine old townhouse, with displays of village and ceremonial costumes, prints, tools and household objects and furniture. There are also several finds here from ancient sites.

  • Limassol Folk Art Museum

    Step back in time with more than 500 exhibits here, from fancy costumes worn for holy days to more prosaic farm and household tools (see Limassol Municipal Folk Art Museum).

  • Machairas Monastery

    Picturesquely located and sensitively restored, Machairas was founded in 1148. The centuries-old monks’ cells, stables and cellars are fascinating, and there is a fine collection of superbly executed icons (see Machairas Monastery).

  • Stuffed sharks.

  • An exciting and ever-changing schedule of exhibitions by contemporary Cypriot and international painters is on display here. It is a refreshing change from Classical sculpture and Byzantine icons and frescoes that dominates so much of the island.

  • Shells and fossils.

  • Ancient coins.

  • History of independence.

  • Antique lutes, cymbals and drums can be found in many antique shops.
