Great morning spent for all our family, climbing up to Castle was ace, the Views were just amazing you can see St Hilarion and Kantara from the top if you look carefully. Sun was out and we enjoyed every minute. Free as well :) take water especially in the summer

Definitely the most difficult of Northern Cyprus castles.. quite a climb.. but the views were worth it.. just take a water with you as there’s nowhere around to rest or buy anything along the way to the top..
