St Hilarion

St Hilarion is the westernmost of the castles, situated between the coast city of Girne (Kyrenia) and the beautiful village of Bellapaix. The saint Hilarion, born south of Gaza in Palestine, provided the castle its name. Hilarion, famous for his miraculous medicine and exorcism, lived as a hermit in the Cypriot mountains during the last years of his life, living on God knows what, and he died about 371 AD. The castle is said to have inspired Walt Disney's drawers when they made the movie "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." I understand them, I can hardly think of a place more suitable for imagination firing adventures.
