We have heard about Phassouri and that’s where they grow Oranges, Grapefruit, Lemons but they also have vineyards with the world known sultana grapes / raisings …..  let’s go back in time, from the beginning when it all started.

It is the owner of the biggest plantations in Cyprus consisting of a total area of about 4,824 dunams of land.

Who?
The Cyprus Palestine Plantations Ltd was first founded and registered in Cyprus in 1933 under this name.

Later, in 1974 this name was changed to The Cyprus Phassouri Plantations Co.Ltd in 1974 as the shareholding of the company came under the control of Cypriot owners.

The purpose of the first company was to reclaim and put into productive use the marshy lands adjoining the Salt Lake of Akrotiri which is located in the Mediterranean region and this was done also with the help of the eucalyptus trees that is known the roots crawl and find water.
