This is an imposing building from outside but there is little to see inside. It would be better to see some artefacts relating to the Fort's history.

We walked to the Harbour most days from our hotel 40 mins walk each way. The walk was well worth the walk the scenery was very beautiful, there is plenty to see and do.

The Castle is Byzantine build and later was restored by Ottomans. Now is one of the most visited attractions of the town. From the top of the Castle enjoy the great view of the harbour, with the fish restaurants, cafe-bars, souvenir-shops, ice-cream kiosks and ofcourse don't miss the Paphos Mosaics, just a few metres away.

Easy access castle that you can use as the focus of a walk by the harbour. Not big and children love the visit. recommended for children over 4 yearsI would say

For 1euro 70cents you can have a nose around this 'castle' which is essentially a fort that the British ended up storing salt in!! There isnt much to see but you do get a tale of its history dating back to the Ottomans and you also get a lovely view of the harbour too.

Interesting fort (its not a castle) giving good views across the harbour If you are in the area worth a visit as there are plenty of bars and shops in the forts vicinity John & Sue Torquay.
