| A visit to Fyti is highly
recommended. This little village high on the hills above Paphos is
inviting and the villagers very friendly. In the square is a wonderful
taverna where you can get light refreshments, a cold beer or an
excellent meal. Across the village square is the memorial gardens awash with a magnificent display of flowers,
with the museum adjacent you can see the type
of traditional weaving in operation unique to this village. The weaving is done making geometrical patterns
, each design is representative of some activity. You can see a fully
operational spinning wheel in action. There is also a good display of
traditional clothing, farming tools and donkey equipment. The museum is
run by volunteers, very proud of their village and it's traditions, at
the back of the museum is a small jar for donations. |
