The 10 Best Museums in Paphos, Paphos District

August 3, 2021 Weston Hennigan

Paphos, the capital of western Cyprus, has some serious historical clout. Site of the vast fourth-century BC Tombs of the Kings, set high on a cliff above the sparkling sea, as well as a dramatic Byzantine castle and fine mosaics, it's also known as the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite. The population of 27,000 is swelled by a summer influx of beach-bound English, German and Scandinavian visitors. A beautiful old harbor awaits, while modern hotels and restaurants stretch along the promenade.

Technopolis 20 Cultural Centre

A cultural centre that organises artistic events such as concerts, theatre and dance performances, exhibitions, screenings and much more. Additionally a coffee shop - bar operates in the venue with a beautiful garden in the city centre.

Reviewed By YKoutsolambro - Paphos, Cyprus

This place is one of the few cultural venues in Paphos. I survives due to the continuous efforts of the creators and a loyal group of followers, xpat and locals. There is something for every taste. Nostalgic Greek music, Cypriot traditional with a twist, Jazz, classical, political and cultural presentations, ecastic exhibitions and more. As time foes by and the trees and plants in the garden mature, it becomes even more inviting. Add the unexpected top quality of the artistic program and you have a place that deserves to thrive even more.

Well worth a visit. A renovated warehouse housing various artisans' work. I bought a delightful fused glass dish to take home. Would have bought more, if I could have got it all home safely, on the plane. Also, food and drink available.

Neldi Art Gallery

Family Business with handmade wood creations. The perfect option for personalized gifts and customized wooden signs. We use local timber from Troodos mountains using sustainable methods and eco-friendly materials and paints. Most of the timber is actually trees that were burned during wild fires in the summer. With our art we are giving these woods a second life. Bring your own new idea, and let us create a unique wooden plaque which will decorate your House, Office, Man Cave or She Shed ;-)

Art & Shock Gallery

The Art & Shock Gallery opened in Paphos in the summer of 2017. The Art & Shock Gallery is a timeless place, place that is beyond politics and nationalities. On the pictures that are collected in the gallery you can’t see the country where they were created and it was done on purpose. The pictures come from Kamchatka to France. Here in the Art & Shock Gallery one can see the diverse and various environment that created. Here you could see everything: Georgian feast, Baltic sea-banks and languishing European beauties. And this very contrast and diversity give the gallery its colour and highlight its individuality as well.

Paphos Ethnographic Museum

Reviewed By Connector736339

This is no ordinary museum. For €5 per person, plus €5 for the optional guidebook, you have a chance to go inside the special home of a lady, Chryso, who preserves the life's work of her late husband and renowned archeologist, George Eliades. His eclectic collection of items, the house frozen in time and the 2nd/3rd century BC tomb and other artefacts in the garden make for a quirky and fascinating 4* visit. Add chatting to Chryso and you have a well-spent 5* hour or so...

The Steni Museum of Village Life

Reviewed By 903amanda - Derbyshire, United Kingdom

Well, where to start, this museum is a magical place, absolutely stuffed full with interesting memorabilia, lace, artefacts and facts. This museum is such an intriguingly interesting place for you to be taken back in time to how life was for Cypriots many years ago! If you are lucky enough, you will meet the wonderful mukhtar Ηλίας, he has such incredible stories to tell and you will be enchanted by his recollection of how he collected all of the artefacts before opening his wonderful museum. Entrance is free but donations are very welcome!
