The picturesque spot has a fascinating range of forest walks, splashing watercourses, and a few pubs at some of the best hotels Cyprus has to offer.
Platres is the vacation place for hikers, trekkers and adventure seekers. Offering water sports, and a mountainous range, it is the place to retreat for a few days and just have fun.
Retirees prefer the hills to the beaches and often make their way to Platres where nature plays its wonders along with a massage from the spas situated at almost every hotel.
Although Platres is not as chic as it was before, it is still successful in bringing in quite a bit of tourism, because of the beauty it has to offer.
The hilly area is quite famous for its cuisine and offers some of the best meals in Cyprus.
