Another day trip saw us visiting Kolossi Castle, and the village of Omodos.
Kolossi Castle is a former crusader stronghold built in the thirteenth century when the land was given by King Hugh 1 to the Knights of the Order of St John of Jerusalem (Hospitallers). Taken by the Knights Templar in 1306, it was returned to the Hospitallers in 1313, with the present castle being built in 1454.
Omodos is a traditional village in the troodos mountains. Our stay here included a small meal of homemade Halloumi Cheese and Commandaria sweet wine, both fantastic Cypriot products exported throughout the world.
