Fikardou Rural Museum — Attraction in Fikardou

This review is for both the museum and the Christmas village in Fikardou. First and foremost Fikardou village is a must see both for locals and for tourists. The village is now uninhabited and mostly owned by the Cypriot government. So it has been preserved as it was hundreds of years ago. It's stunning. The museum includes 2 houses in their original form. One of them is 300 years old, the other 500. Furniture including wardrobes, beds, dining tables are all the original items in these households. Preserved in perfect form. The Christmas village is the best I have been to, in Cyprus. It includes handmade products (that I love) and I have purchased some. Of course food and drinks are sold here too. The views are stunning. An absolute must see. I can't stress it enough. Fikardou...
