We visited the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque and where greeted by a very nice Imam from Germany. He took his time to talk to us and tell us about the mosque and its holy resting place for the friend of the prophet. The mosque is situated just by the salt lake and has a beautiful view and a lot of... More

Even though this is a very important site for Islam, the people of Cyprus have respected, protected and are actually proud to have such a monument in our country. A very serene and spiritual place, where you can feel the peace and holiness. Beautiful surroundings, and if you are lucky in the winter you may get a glimpse of the... More

In such a peaceful and tranquil setting overlooking the big salt lake. I've visited often as visitors to me always want to see it. Also sometimes drive over there to walk my dog in the vicinity as it is so lovely.

Tekke is of great importance to the Islamic world but nowadays it is an ordinary tekke. It has a great view to the Salt Lake and some history behind it. I have walked around the mosque and went around it several times in the past but between us, the beauty is outside in the round area. I don’t find the... More
