The family-run Odysseas photography studio has been in Polis since 1950. The photographer Odysseas documented Polis Chrysochous and the surrounding villages, and in 1979 his son Andreas Georgiou took over the family business. The gallery grew out of their photographic archive.

The collection includes black-and-white photographs of family celebrations, birthdays and other occasions that islanders wanted to remember. Pictures from the 1960s and 1970s show what gatherings and celebrations looked like long before digital photography. The museum also displays cameras used by both generations of the family.

The gallery is associated with the Odysseas photography studio. Individual and family photo sessions are studio services and are booked separately from a visit to the collection.

Before making the trip, ask the owners when the historic collection can be seen and what arrangements apply to visitors.
