Reviewed By presfordrules - Chicago, United States
Just a short drive from the main town, the ruins are just off the parking lot. Not overrun with visitors, but a sprawling gymnasium and baths complex and wonderful ampitheatre are highlights. The short loop takes you to all you need to see. We did the longer walk, which goes through brush for a while before coming to much less impressive ruins.

Reviewed By cotsios79 - Nicosia, Cyprus
Located about 9km north of Pafos (Paphos), the monastery of Agios Neophytos was founded by the Cypriot recluse and writer Neophytos in the second half of the 12th century, in what used to be a secluded location at the head of the picturesque valley. The hermit carved a cave out of the mountains called the ‘Enkleistra’, which is covered with some of the finest examples of Byzantine frescoes that date back from the 12th to the 15th centuries. The monastery has a noteworthy ecclesiastical museum and its later church also contains some of the finest Post-Byzantine icons dating to the 16th century.
8. Saint Hilarion Castle

Reviewed By DWELSingapore
The weather was cool when we visited in middle of March and it was not too crowded. The climb up was not complicated - simply follow the signage and stone steps all the way up. The peak iof the castle is at over 700 metres. It offers a commanding views of Kyrenia/Girne area. We saw some visitors from group tours scrambled up the castle due to the limited time given for them to explore the sprawling castle grounds. We hired a taxi service from North Cyprus Brothers Taxi Services and could spend a good amount of time at the castle. We were picked up at our hotel in South Nicosia, went through the customs at the borders smoothly and had 6-7 hours to explore St Hilarion Castle, Kyrenia Harbour, the old harbour & Bellapais Abbey at a leisurely pace. Kyrenia, and especially St Hillarion Castle, is worth a day's visit as the views here are picturesque, and offered a different perspective of Cyprus.
