This is one of the few museums in the world where the visitor can touch and explore old medical instruments without restrictions. The visitor can experience how medicine was practiced in the old times, and also explore magic, incantations, medical words and many other aspects of medicine. We also have a 'Health Hangout' where we serve health drinks and herbal teas in a relaxing and interesting atmosphere.
Small museum still worth a visit. Full of medical items, interesting and most of all free, if you are in larnaca and want something to do I suggest take a look at this place and have a coffee and cake in one of the many local coffee shops less expensive than the ones nearer the beach

A moustache see attraction if you want a pleasant outing with a touch of interesting information about Cyprus and its history at local level. A family run home with a history down the generations. We were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. Set in an interesting and well kept old village this is a gem.

This is, by far, the best place to visit in Lefkara considering that the village boasts its unique handmade lace embroidery as well as filigree silver.

Pierides MuseumOpening Hours: Monday - Thursday: 9:00 - 16:00 Friday - Saturday: 9:00 - 13:00 Sunday: ClosedEntrance fees: Adults: 3,00 EUR Children / Students: 1,00 EUR Group 10+ : 2,00 EUR Description:The Archaeological Collection of the Pierides Museum - Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation is considered as one of the most important collections of Cyprus. The collection was initiated by the enlightened Demetrios Pierides in the 19th century and has been systematically enriched.The Pierides Museum is conveniently located in the commercial center of the city of Larnaka, parallel to the sea front. It can be characterized as one of the most important private museums of Cyprus, since the collection contains a significant and characteristic presentation of the civilization of Cyprus through the centuries. The Archaeological Collection is housed in the former, colonial style, residence of the Pierides family, built in 1825, where the visitor can travel through the ages covering 9000 years of the island's history, beginning from Neolithic times through to the Bronze Age, Geometric, Archaic, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine - Medieval Age.A very important cartography collection of old maps and charts of Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean is also housed in the Museum, as well as the prized collection of Greek and Roman glassware.
What a little gem this private collection is. I think the way it has been displayed through the ages as you walk round gives you a idea of how important and rare the items are. The glass exhibit is amazing that they have survived so many hundreds of years. Although not massive in size as its only one floor of a private residency it has been well thought out. Worth every bit of the 3€ entrance fee.

I don't know how many times we've driven past the pyramidal metal roof (constructed in 1995) of this settlement but we decided to stop and explore what there is to see here. It's fascinating and well worth stopping. It's signposted off the A1 and B1 roads and there is parking opposite the ticket office. The lady who greeted us there was charming and helpful. The entry fee is €2.50 (just €1.25 for retired folk ). There's a short stepped slope up to the site and an impressive wooden walkway above it - steps up and down - so it's not one for individuals in wheelchairs. The information provided is very informative, particularly the artists impression of how the site might have looked - we loved that! We were also given an interesting pamphlet with our tickets. So, what's here? It's what remains of an ancient Aceramic (without pottery) Neolithic settlement which was originally excavated in 1947 and again during the period 1976 to 1984. The buildings were round, grouped together on a hillock and surrounded by a wall and a ditch. However, for unknown reasons, the site was abandoned in the 6th millenium BC. Finds from the site are located at the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia and the Larnaca District Archaeological Museum. The modern imposing roof was placed over the vast majority of the site to protect it against the elements. I could expand further but PLEASE do go and see it yourself - it's just as amazing as Choirokoitia (not far away) even though there are no reconstructed dwellings here at Tenta. Highly recommended if you have a spare 30 - 60 minutes and you are nearby or passing. Note - NOT open at the weekend. The toilets ( just to the right of the ticket office) were spotlessly clean.
