Platres Village

According to documented accounts, the initial iteration of this account states that Platres was a fiefdom during the Frankish era and has retained this appellation ever since. The Greek translation for the French word platre-s is “white,” “plaster,” or “plaster.” According to available information, a Frankish Monastery existed on the southern side of Troodos, situated above the present-day Platres. The priests of this institution were described as “Platrai” and were attired in white. The second iteration originated from the word platsa, which subsequently evolved into Platra and Platres (plural).Furthermore, the appellation “Platres,” which appeared in the third iteration, was derived from the Greek word “pratria,” denoting an individual engaged in the weaving and retailing of peasant garments.
