Geocache Description:

A little museum you would never find without geocaching...


Everything they've dug up during about 80 years of excavations at Kourion, Apollo Hylates, The Stadium and some from Choirokitia and other sites around the island, is all here in this unassuming little house museum in Episkopi. (Well all the bits the British Museum didn't walk off with anyway)

It was the house of the American archeologist George McFadden, who died in a boating accident off Kourion in 1953. It opened as a museum in 1969.

It really is worth a stop, as there are some truly amazing and very important pieces of the Roman and Neolithic history of Cyprus tucked away in here. The gardens are also pleasant with the usual handful of local cats sleeping in the sunshine.

Opening hours are 8am - 3.30pm Monday - Friday, Closed on weekends. Admission is €2.50.

Cache is a micro (Almost nano) with log only I'm afraid due to the highly overlooked location, but it's house is slightly larger.
