Buffavento Castle, Kyrenia

A high climb of many switchback stone stairways, but worth it for the views and of course, the historic castle.

This must have been a Great castle once upon a time. It's sad to see it at that state. Only part of it that is "fixed" is the trail/path that leads all the way there. The road to the castle is in disarray (08/17), part ok, part dirt road and vice versa. The views and vibe you get once you get to the top (about 30 min trail) is astonishing. On any given day is cool and refreshing up there. Definitely worth the hassle to get there. Be sure to have water with you as there is literally nothing for miles.

Great castle with amazing views. There are a large number of steps up to the top, but plenty of places to pause in the shade. Make sure you have water with you, as there are no facilities at the car park or at the top.

The way to the castle is not easy, but when you are finally at the top - you will forget how difficult it was... the view is amazing... it is worth to visit at least once.

Very beautiful view
