Platres Village

Description

Today the village is well known as Platres, without the prefix "Pano" (Upper) preceding it, in contrast to the neighbouring village Tornarides as is referred to "Kato Platres" (Lower). It’s a misperception that Platres is a quite new village founded during the recent years. Platres is a very old village and is mentioned among the 119 villages of the Limassol district that existed during the Lusignan (Frank Rule, 1192-1489 AD) and the Venetian Era (1489-1571 AD).
