Platres : Accommodation Only
Dreamy views, idyllic countryside and enticing Cypriot cuisine…. Platres has all the ingredients for a carefree, chilled-out break. This picture-postcard resort is based around an enchanting mountain village, and spreads throughout the fragrant pines and cedar forest of the breathtaking Troodos Mountains where it leads down fertile valleys all the way down to the coast where it meets a superb swathe of golden sands.
Its calm and cooling atmosphere is ideal for enjoying sun-soaked, indulgent days exploring the countryside, mountains and traditional Cypriot villages like Omodhos, Pera Pedhi, Phini and the magical little Byzantine village of Lofou where the current population is 25, plus Sandy the dog. Wander the narrow steep and cobble-stone streets, before stopping off for a refreshing drink. Lofou was once the richest villages in Cyprus, with an abundance of underwater.
Platres is also a brilliant base for sightseeing with days spent strolling around Byzantine monastries, such as the famous monastry of Cyprus Kykko with its Byzantine museum. Platres really is an escapist's dream, perfect for those who enjoy stunning countryside, long walks in the pine-scented forests, birdwatching or for those seeking to spend equally sleepy days enjoying starlit mouth-watering Cypriot Meze, or heading to a cheerful open-sir taverna to immerse themselves in the spectacular views.
The village is perfect for peaceful evenings admiring the radiant Cypriot sunsets and all around the neighbouring coast and countryside, not only will you find delight in a long walk in the pine-scented Troodos Mountains, you'll find picturesque villages and the hiking trails to explore. And. If you are here in winter, the area bursts with winter sports and skiing.
