Tips from locals
The Kolossi Castle was built in the 13th century and then reconstructed in the 15th century. When visiting the Castle inside you can reach the top and get stunning views! If visiting the area is worth combining with visiting the Ancient Kourion which is located a mere 10 minute drive!
A Medieval castle in excellent condition not far from an amphitheatre and other excavations in the Kurion area.
Small but interesting castle with views out over the farmers fields. Worth visiting in the same trip as Kourion as they are quite close.

During their stay in Cyprus, the Knights produced and exported a sweet wine, which became known as the ‘vin de Commanderie’. Today, Commandaria wine is one of the island’s traditional wines and one of the oldest named wines in the world.
