What castle is complete without an adjacent cafe? While the frappe here may not have been as good as at the cafeteria, the ambiance is unsurpassed.Sunday, June 17, 2007
Kolossi
Near the port city of Limassol (Lemesos) stands this charming medieval castle built by the Hospitallers (Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem) in 1454. The original castle on this site had housed Richard the Lionheart (did you know he got married in Limassol?) and the Knights Templar. The buildings were fine and all, but I personally was captivated by the draping trees and vibrant flora of the grounds.
