Agros has several factories and one of the

most famous is the Venus Rose Cosmetics,

whose products are supplied not only to the

local market, but also in several European

countries and in Russia.

The technology of manufacturing rose water,

which is then used for making rose tea ,

natural cosmetics, liquor, handmade

candles with a unique smell and other

original products.  The time for pink

roses to bloom in Agros is in May.

Typically, the “harvest” continues

for 20-25 days.

During this time,Mr. Tzolakis, his family

and assistants get up early, because

roses need to be gathered the moment

when the buds are darkened by sunlight, otherwise they will lose their magical

aroma. To obtain 1 kg of rose petals,

it is necessary to collect about

400-500 buds. Daily plantation

picks are about 27-30 thousand buds.

Then the buds are placed in a

huge vat, which by heating and

subsequent distillation, releases

natural rose water.
