Pervolia (Greek: Περβόλια; Turkish: Bahçalar), also spelled Perivolia (Greek: Περιβόλια), is a village located in the Larnaca District of Cyprus.

History

In ancient years, Pervolia was a resting place for kings and wealthy people in the area.[1] It was named after Greek word ‘pervoli’ for its abundant gardens, fertile soil, and thousands of productive trees.[1] It used to belong to the royal family of the House of Lusignan during the Frankish Period of Cyprus, which lasted from 1191 until 1489.[1] The last owner of this period was Charles Lusignan, who was persecuted by King James II of Cyprus because he supported Queen Charlotte.[1] King James II of Cyprus took off Pervolia from Charles by issuing a decree.[1] Pervolia was sold to the Podokatares family from Greece during the Venetian Period of Cyprus, and the last owner was Ektoras Podokatoras from 1489 to 1571.[1]
