A Guide 2 Dherynia / Deryneia - Cyprus

Description:

Deryneia is situated in the South of Cyprus between Paralimni and Famagusta in the Northern Occupied territory. Deryneia, also spelt Dherynia/Derinia, is a traditional village which is home to three Byzantine churches, one of which dates back to around the 12^th Century.
 
It also has many historical and religious monuments that are worth visiting together with the newly-built Cultural Centre, where you can borrow binoculars to view the Occupied area of Famagusta. There are many exhibitions and events that run at the Cultural Centre.
