“Buffavento” means “gusty winds”, and indeed, perched high upon the Beşparmak (Five Finger) Mountains 950m above sea level it does its best to defy those winds.
Along with Kantara and Buffavento, St. Hilarion Castle was originally built as a watch tower for approaching pirates who launched a series of raids on Cyprus and the coasts of Anatolia from the 7th to the 10th centuries.By the 10th century, a Byzantine chapel and monastery has been added to the tower’s site and joined by a fort in the 12th century. 
Karaman or Karmi is undoubtedly the prettiest and most well-kept village in Northern Cyprus.Time here seems to have stood still;little cobbled streets, meander around, running mountain streams and wild-life are the only sounds you are likely to hear.
Nestled in the delightful village of Bellapais, high in the Five Finger Mountains, is the Bellapais Abbey. The name Bellapais is said to derive from the French “Abbaye de la paix” meaning ‘Monastery of Peace’.
Standing formidably at the entrance to the harbour and commanding excellent views of the harbour entrance and surrounding seas is Girne Castle, dating back to the 1500s.
One of the region’s many highlights is the picturesque port town of Girne which is famous for its historic and perfectly crescent-shaped harbour
Dating back to the 11th Century BC, the Salamis ruins are amongst the finest Roman ruins on the island, the highlights of which are the gymnasium and ancient amphitheatre that could once accommodate up to 15,000 spectators.
