Kolossi Castle is an easily accessible historical site, primarily reachable by car or taxi from nearby Limassol, though some public transport routes might exist. Visitors can comfortably explore the castle solo, utilizing on-site information, or opt for a private guide for a more in-depth historical experience. It is open year-round, with longer operating hours during the summer months; however, summer visitors should be prepared for high temperatures. The entrance fee is typically a few euros, and a visit usually lasts between 1 to 2 hours, allowing ample time to ascend the keep and appreciate its medieval architecture and historical significance as a former stronghold of the Knights Hospitaller and a center for sugar production. Basic facilities are available on-site, and it's recommended to wear comfortable shoes as there are stairs.
