For the tenth consecutive year, the member states of the Postal Union for the Mediterranean "Euromed Postal" are issuing a stamp with a common theme. This year's theme is "Mediterranean Festival".

Festivals are wonderful expressions of culture, customs and joy.

The Cyprus stamp depicts the annual rose festival that takes place in Agros, one of the beautiful Cypriot villages and which is carried out with the aim of spreading the tradition of harvesting and processing roses. Almost all of the economy of the village is based around roses.

There are thousands of rose bushes and varieties of roses, especially fragrant roses from which the famous rose water is produced, as well as various other local delicacies and pure products.

You can order this stamp issue and other philatelic items from our e-shop.
