Kolossi Castle – Stone, Sugar, and Strategy

Set among citrus groves just west of Limassol, Kolossi Castle Cyprus may be modest in size, but it holds a powerful place in Cyprus’s medieval story.

Built in the 13th century by the Knights of St. John and later used by the Knights Templar, this square fortress once stood at the center of both military and economic power — especially in the island’s lucrative sugar trade.

Private Kantara Castle Tour – Medieval Fortress & Breathtaking Views

Perched high above the northern coast, where the mountains meet the sky, Kantara Castle stands silent and majestic.

On this Private Kantara Castle Tour, you’ll journey deep into Northern Cyprus to explore one of the island’s most spectacular medieval fortresses. Built by Crusaders nearly a thousand years ago, Kantara was part of the legendary defense triangle alongside St. Hilarion and Buffavento — a sentinel guarding Cyprus from both sea and sky.

Today, its windswept towers and panoramic views create an unforgettable setting for history lovers, photographers, and dreamers alike. Walk through ancient gates, climb the ramparts, and gaze across two coastlines at once.
