This is more remote than St Hillarion or Kantara castle. The car park is quite small and and the end od narrow roads (depending if you come from the north or the south. It's a long climb upwards - with great views over the countryside...More
An excellent free attraction. Fairly easy steps to climb up. Interesting ruins. Exceptional views. No café. Wear sensible shoes and take some water with you.
