The Dherynia Folk Museum is shut Sundays but probably offers a better view than the alternatives. If you turn up when the Museum is shut the cafe owner next door will lend you quite good quality binoculars and your allowed to climb up onto the roof balconey and get a pretty decent view.
No strings attached but I did stop at the cafe after which seemed pretty good value and the staff very friendly.

The museum is in a traditional Cypriot house. Exhibits include household items and farming tools. In the yard of the museum you will find an oven. Such ovens are still in use today for making bread and others culinary delights. This is not just there as a tourist attraction, it is used by the owner.
The museum does give you a chance to see how working Cypriots live outside of the tourist areas.
Open Mon-Sat 9am-1pm and 4pm-6pm.

Head to Anita's viewpoint where you can look acorss to Varosha (the former tourist district of Famagusta) where there are now decaying hotels. Inside the viewpoint there are reminders of the division of the island. You can look across and see the Turkish flag slightly in the distance and the nearer flags of the Greeks and Cypriots. It is here that two Cypriots were killed in 1996. News cuttings of the events are on display.
At this viewpoint you are given binoculars to use free of charge. They actually have quite a good magnification and you can make out most buildings quite clearly.

As you drive along the road to Famagusta, beyond the village hall, the road straight ahead is blocked. You have to either turn back or right. From this spot you can look over to part of the land that constitutes part of the Dherynia Municipality, but which is presently inaccessible. It was close to this spot that Tassos Isaak and Solomos Solomou were killed about six years ago.
