The queens sucide tower
Theres quıte alot of history on this small İsland that İm still trying to work out. İt seems like every tom, dick and harry has lived here and owned thıs İsland. Apparenly the turks took over half the İsland because of the wıne. Some king tasted the wıne and asked where did u get thıs wıne from? They answered Cyprus so he told them to go get the İsland.
In ancient times, the sanctuary of "foam-born" Aphrodite, worshiped as the goddess of love, attracted pilgrims to Cyprus from all over the civilized world. But Cretans and Assyrians, Phoenicians and Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans and Byzantines, Arabs and crusaders, Genoese and Venetians, Turks and British, all exploited the island. The Greeks first came in about the 12th century B.C., and gradually imposed their language and culture. In A.D. 1571 the Ottoman Turks took Cyprus from the Venetians.
Movıng along I planned a visit to thıs historıc place ın cyprus where the queen jumped off her castle wındow to kıll herself cuz she was losıng a battle. After arrıvıng here İ was told that they were closing in 5 minutes. So İ couldnt go in. Apparently there ıs 101 rooms ın thıs place but no one can fınd the 101th room. İts apparently hidden somewhere and no one till this day has uncovered the room. İt may be underground...
