In fact there is just one tower remaining. Stop there if you pass near, otherwise don't go there just for visit purpose, It does not worth the trip. More

The only negative comment i would make is that, in the past, there was so little information so we really weren't sure what we were looking at....would have loved to know more, but maybe that's all changed now. Still worth a visit. More

Maybe i'm spoilt being from England where we've got more old castles than we know what to do with! It's fine and you can potter about at your leisure and climb up the old stairs, but you'll not manage to make the visit last more than an hour. Do pop in though if you're keen on history! More

Kolossi castle is situated in a small village called by the same name. It is around 1h drive from Larnaca and very close to Limassol. Its a fort like castle with a nice spiral staircase inside which takes you to each floor and then all the way to the roof. The view from the roof is fantastic. On one side... More

Well worth visiting. It is completely empty, and the location is far away from Limassol Centre. It should be visited on the way to Kurion (Curium), a greek/roman ancient city. More

Before we came to live in Cyprus we used to always take a trip to Kolossi Castle - just to check it was "still there". It's in excellent condition and you could move in it today. One day who knows, we may just claim squatters rights and make it our forever home! We love it! More
