Agros Rose Festival 2025: Experience the Magic of Roses
In the heart of the Troodos Mountains, the picturesque village of Agros transforms each spring into a sea of pink as thousands of Damascus roses come into bloom. This breathtaking spectacle is at the center of the Agros Rose Festival 2025, a beloved event that blends tradition, nature, and community spirit.
Agros Rose Festival: A Tradition in Full Bloom
Thanks to the efforts of educator Nearchos Clerides, rose harvesting has been vital in Agros since the early 20th century. Today, the village produces approximately 20 tons of Damascus roses annually, which are transformed into rose water, essential oils, and a variety of local delicacies. The Agros Rose Festival is the perfect opportunity to witness this fragrant tradition firsthand.
