Cyprus: Part 3

After having spent most of the week frolicking in the sunshine we figured we should really get a good old dose of culture to ensure our brains didn't melt. With that, we jumped into our affectionately named 'party bus' and headed to St Hilarion Castle - a medieval castle built into the top of a mountain - said to have inspired the castle in Disney's Snow White!




Our mission: to get to the top!



Ruins of a Byzantine Church

Prince John's tower - where he allegedly invited his servants up one-by-one, only to be thrown over the edge in his fit of rage!


We made it!


From that day on everything was simply...'hilarion'
