A Pasteli Museum operates in Anogyra, the only one in Cyprus. It aims to present the traditional way of making Pasteli.

Pasteli is a traditional sweet; its main ingredient is carob juice. It is noteworthy that the inhabitants of Anogyra continue to produce pasteli in the traditional way.

The Museum is located at the old Turkish-Cypriot school, which was renovated in 2000. The renovation of the school was funded by the government and Cyprus Tourist Organization (CTO), appointed by the Expatriates’ Association.

The opening of the Museum of Pasteli and Folk Art was performed by former Justice and Public Order Minister, Mr. Nicos Koshis.   

It must be noted that each September the Community Council, in cooperation with the Expatriates’ and Friends’ of Anogyra Council, organizes Pasteli Festival. The visitors can see the traditional way in which pasteli is produced.
