Beşparmak Mountains, near Kyrenia, also known as the Five Finger Mountains, or Pentadaktylos. The only other mountain range in Cyprus is the Troodos Mountains.
The popular name originates from a legend about the mountains which tells of a common villager who fell in love with the local queen and asked for her hand in marriage.
The queen wasn't too keen on this, so asked him to bring her some water from the spring of Apostolos Andreas Monastery, situated high in the mountains, a dangerous
journey in those days. The man set off and returned several weeks later with a skin full of that precious water. The queen still refused to marry him, and in a fit of rage
he poured the water onto the ground, seized a handful of the resulting mud and threw it at the queen's head. She ducked, and the lump of mud sailed on, far across the plain,
to land on top of the Kyrenia mountain range, still showing the impression of the spurned villager's five fingers.
