Morning light breaks over Limassol as the coach climbs toward the Troodos foothills, and the air changes from sea-salt to something sweeter—rose and pine pushing through the windows. The day moves through stone villages with low-slung houses, workshops hissing with sugar and smoke, and a small family winery that pours barrels of island history into tasting glasses.

History
The Troodos foothills have been a wine-producing region for millennia; Commandaria, sampled on this tour, traces its name and style back over 2,000 years. Agros’s rose industry grew in the 19th–20th centuries as distillation and preserves became local staples.
Conservation
Small producers emphasize traditional, low‑impact methods; visitors should support local businesses, avoid trampling rose beds, and take packaging and waste back to town to limit impacts.
