Short Description:
The Hadjigiorkis Flourmill Museum, located in Frenaros village in the Famagusta region of Cyprus, is a living example of how traditional industries can be transformed into meaningful, Sustainable Cultural Tourism experiences. Developed by Cyprus Millers, this privately initiated project brings the island’s milling and bread-making heritage to life through hands-on activities, storytelling and education.

Visitors to the museum can explore authentic milling equipment, join interactive bread-making workshops, and experience Cyprus’ rural traditions through digital tools, including virtual reality tours. The museum works closely with schools and cultural institutions, offering educational programmes supported by the Ministry of Education that link past practices to contemporary learning.

With a strong emphasis on community involvement, sustainability and rural revitalisation, the museum also applies environmentally conscious practices such as zero-waste workshops and energy-efficient infrastructure. It stands as a replicable model for other regions looking to turn cultural heritage into a vibrant, locally rooted visitor experience.
