    Then, explore Kritinia’s Castle, founded by the Knights during the 14th century, and let yourself be amazed by the superb view from above the west coast. The fortress is often called “Castello” as it was the largest of the Knights’ fortresses along the island’s west coast. It dominates the western passage and the channel of Halki.
