Agros - Cyprus
Agrós (Αγρός) is the main village of the Pitsiliá area in the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus. Some years ago a hotel was built there, the Ródon Hotel, which is a joined effort of the inhabitants and people originating from the village but are now in the bigger towns, in order to generate jobs and income for their village. The Rodon Hotel is very popular with both Cypriots and tourists visiting the Troodos region.
Agros produces mainly fruit. Therefore it has become a centre of processing these fruit into all sorts of preserves, jams, compote in small workshops run, mainly, by women of the village.
But the most characteristic product of Agros is the rose, the “Rosa X Damascena”, which is used for the production of rose oil, rosewater, toiletries and even a jam!
