Kantara Castle is the easternmost of the three castles situated on the Kyrenia mountain range in Cyprus. (The other two are Buffavento and St Hilarion.) Lying at 630 metres above sea level, Kantara is well positioned to control the entrances to Karpass Peninsula and Mesaoria plain. The name 'Kantara' is believed to derive from the Arabic word qantara, which means a small bridge.
