Saint Hilarion Castle, Kyrenia

The fortress of iOS Hilarion is located in the Kirenia Ridge. The fort sits on a huge cliff. Built in the 7th century by the Bavalans, the Lulian people renovated and expanded it in the Crusader period. Its importance grows in the Venetian period. The fortress is built of three levels. Trails and steps are leading from level to level. Trees and vegetation add to the beauty of the place. The fortress was strategically important. From all levels and mainly from the second level and the third, great observations on a large part of the Northern Sea. The port and the city. The Citadel has many rooms and halls including a church building dating from a beautiful Byzantine period. On the second level cafeteria where you can drink a delicious and juicy lemonade from the surrounding area while sitting on the porch overlooking the landscape. Very, very recommended. We did it with a great local guide.

You go for the view, but it's not worth it with the kid. You can see the same view by the car by Beylerbeyi. 2 for lemonade rather than scenery. Make sure you go all the way to the section. Say no to the view for that lemonade and to the abana.
