Kantara Castle (Greek: Κάστρο της Καντάρας Turkish: Kantara Kalesi) is a castle in Northern Cyprus. The exact date of its construction remains unknown, the most plausible theory being the Byzantine period. It combines Byzantine and Frankish architectural elements, became derelict in 1525 and was dismantled in 1560. It gave its name to the nearby Kantara monastery.

kantara castle is worth a visit on a clear day, you can see the coastline when at the top. it is about 20 min drive from highway turn-off, with final stretch a one way lane

Quite an exciting road to gain access. Views of both coasts. Commanding position for a castle, obviously built to last!
