From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Platanisteia (Greek: Πλατανίστεια, Turkish: Çamlıca) is a village in the Limassol District of Cyprus, located 6 km north of Pissouri. Prior to 1960, the village was inhabited almost exclusively by Turkish Cypriots.[2]
Its population is very small; according to the 2001 census, it had approximately 43 inhabitants.
The village has traditionally been surrounded by carob and olive trees.[3]
The village is now the home to the Hambis Printmaking Centre, an arts centre for artist-printmakers and museum of printmakers' works, founded by the Cypriot artist Hambis Tsangaris in 2008.[4]
