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]

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.[3]
