Peace and Freedom Museum

This museum is situated at the point where the first Turkish troops landed in 1974.

The museum is in two parts. The open air portion consists of a display of vehicles and arms left by the Greek soldiers, while indoors there is a display of photographs of the military action and uniforms of some of the participants.

Close to the museum is a small military graveyard holding the remains of some of the casualties, including that of Col Karaoglanoglu, the most senior officer to be killed in the operation, and whose name was given to the nearby village in his memory.

A short distance from the museum is a large monument at the actual point of the landings.
