Why Kolossi Castle matters
Kolossi is a square fortress tower surrounded by sugar-cane fields in the past. It was a base for crusader knights who ran estates in the area. Climb the steps for a view of the countryside. It is a short visit and fits well with Kourion.
Talking points
- Crusader knights used it as a base.
- Sugar production once surrounded it.
- It pairs well with Kourion.
