\n\tLocated in the Lemesos (Limassol) district, the quaint village of Anogyra sits at an altitude of 170 metres and just 45 km away from Lemesos town. The village can be reached by following A6 route and then the F607.<\/p>\n
\n\tAnogyra was once a main carob-grower and is famous for its traditional sweet \u2018Pasteli\u2019, which is made from carob syrup, and only produced traditionally in the village.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe history of the village dates back to the Neolithic era, and its name may originate from the plant \u2018anagyris\u2019 (which grows in the village), or that the village that exists today constituted the upper (\u2018ano\u2019) part of the village once known as \u2018Gyroi\u2019.<\/p>\n
\n\tIts interesting sites include the Pastelli museums, the Olive-Park – Oleastro, the church of Timios Stavros (Holy Cross), and a winery. The village is also a perfect destination for agrotourism.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe custom of Pasteli making is celebrated annually in September with a Pasteli Festival that features the sweet being made in the traditional way, along with local food and a programme of folkloric entertainment.<\/p>\n
