Agros - The Rose Village




Agros is one of the many beautiful villages of Cyprus. Situated in the Troodos mountain range, the village is built amphitheatrically among high mountains making it picturesque and a popular tourist destination.





Agros is well known for rose plantation and rose-derived products. A wide range of rose products include rosewater, rose liqueur, rose brandy, rose perfumes and aromatic rose candles — all made using traditional methods from the locally grown flowers.











True to its specialty, one would see every house adorned with rose plants!



Rose lovers will thoroughly enjoy a visit to Agros during May for the annual rose festival, also the peak of rose blossom.


The festival is full of activities, exhibitions and demonstrations, celebrating nature’s beauty and local traditions.





...and for someone visiting for the first time, it surely looks like the village is so gorgeously decorated with roses on this occasion :)
