Folklore Museum of Pedoulas

The Folklore Museum is located in a central area of the village, near the Church of the Holy Cross. It is housed in a renovated building that once brought together many of the crafts and professions now showcased within its spaces, such as the tailor’s shop, the blacksmith’s workshop, the butcher’s shop, the coffeehouse, and the bakery—offering a glimpse into the community’s social and economic development.

In addition to traditional crafts and professions, the Museum presents the interior of a traditional Cypriot home, featuring authentic furniture, utensils, and other household items, including local costumes. At the entrance of the Museum stands the bust of its benefactor, shipowner Vassos Hadjioannou.
