For beautiful skin or better sleep, lavender is exactly what you need!
This aromatic herb with the formal green foliage and the tiny purple flowers found its kingdom in Platres. It was brought to Cyprus by the British colonialists about a century ago and was first grown in Platres, which was then a center of administration and summer resort.
The women of the village quickly discovered the beneficial properties of lavender and began to cultivate it in their gardens. Knowledge of the therapeutic properties of lavender was transmitted from generation to generation and today, the inhabitants of Platres trust it as ever. It is no surprise that the village of Platres is known as "The village of Levantas".
Visit Platres to celebrate the Levant Festival with the locals. Discover the therapeutic properties and cooking uses of the plant through experiential laboratories.
Take part in lavender distillation and enjoy its amazing aroma creating your own lavender bouquet. Try the unique yogurt with lavender, as well as other lavender delicacies and organic cosmetic products.
The central square of Platres will host Levantas Market with producers and exhibitors from all over Cyprus. The festival will also include a fun entertainment program, children's activities with interactive games and tours from botanists to lavender plantations.
