Guide to Cyprus
Must See Cyprus
In association with:
Less of a castle and more a fortified tower house, Kolossi Castle perches incongruously between the vineyards and houses of the village of the same name. It is an interesting reminder of the rule of the Knights of St John in the 13th century, who started producing wine and processing sugar cane at a commandery that stood on this land.
The famous Cypriot wine, Commandaria, took its name from here.
