布法文托城堡印象
-
Buffavento is a bit of a drive from Girne along narrow roads. Park in a small car park and then its a good 30 min walk to the top. Not many people visit but once you get to the top you have great views of the coast and inland....great castle
-
The climb up to the castle from the little car park at the bottom took us a good 30 minutes, and another 5 or so once inside, but the track all the way up is hard surfaced and makes the climbing very straight forward. The views from the top on a clear day are truly spectacular.

Get some water with you and comfort shoes because you will walk & climb the narrow road towards the castle for some good 30 to 45 minutes (depends on your fitness level) yet when you are on top it's worth the effort.The view is amazing and the clean air and breeze will make you rest instantly. I strongly recommend this route on either early Autumn or late spring as Cyprus heat will take it's toll on you while climbing up. When I visited the castle there was portable WC where the climbing path started, very clean, toilet papers were stocked and water was running. It was an unexpected treat considering we were on middle of nowhere.

I cycled there from Iskele, the climb is relatively easy for an experienced road cyclist (not for a recreational rider). The ride along from the Restaurant at the top of the main road pass is about 6km to start of the foor climb to the castle. These 6km are on a lesser quality road surface but still rideable with 23x700c tyres with good kevlar belt. Take at least 2 bottles of water after leaving the main road for the climb. Leave your bike 25% of the way up the foot climb (to avoid getting it pinched from the car park) and then proceed to castle on foot. The foot climb is steep with sheer drops in places. It is well paved in places but deteriorates to loose rocks in many other parts. I had cycle road shoes on, its better in hiking boots! The walk up is not suited for people with mobility problems. Sun cream a must. Great views and a great climb.

There is not much left to see of the castle but it is worth the really steep zig-zag climb. The path is paved most of the way but it is not fenced and not for anyone with vertigo. At the top there are 200 steps to the summit.

yes. One of the highest location on the Kyrenia mountain. But you will need to walk/climb about 2.0 kilometers to reach the castle. Hard job!!
-
The castle itself has fantastic views and is worth the climb. The problem is the climb itself, and last time I visited the safety barriers as you neared the top were rotting or had disappeared altogether, so if you were of a nervous disposition you would turn back before actually seeing much of the castle. Great if you can get over that, imagine how they built it all those years ago on top of the mountain. Great engineering.
-
No health and safety rules here, you could easily have a fall. A bit of a climb up, but great views of the peninsula and countryside and lovely to be able to wander where you want to. Wear sensible shoes.

It's worth a visit just for the views and the peace and quiet and is accessed via qyuite a steep and winding road that zig zags up the mountain. Once home to royalty its easy to understand why they lived there, but you wouldn't have wanted to be the people lugging provisions up the mountain in the cyprus heat. From the entrance to the top the steps are often uneven, polished and very steep, especially the top section so you need to be reasonably fit and used to walking to get the most out of your visit but there are hand rails on the steeper sections to help you. Those who are not so fit can miss out the top sections as there's only 1 way up and down and have a cold lemonade part of the way up and sit and admire the views. Make sure you have some water with you and take a hat, suncream and sunglasses.

This is a steep climb but accessible to anyone who is moderately fit as long as you go out of the heat of the day. The reward at the top is atmospheric ruins which are usually failry quiet and excellent views. Take plenty of liquids and be careful about taking photographs as the Turkish soldiers have a complex at the base and can be a bit wary of foreigners with cameras.
