lefkara village印象

Lefkara is a historically interesting village, with traditional architecture, narrow winding streets and a church well worth a visit. It is worth visiting the museum which is an example of how people lived in the village at the turn of the 20th century. Personally I found the local lace sellers annoying and over-priced, but the village itself is very pretty and well worth a visit.

I visited Lefkara in the beginning of january 2015 so it was out of season and fortunatelly there were very few tourists in the village but a lot of shops was closed. In summer season it must be very crowdy. But you should visit this village while you stay in Cyprus. It is beautiful

We had read about the Lacemakers of Lefkara Village and decided that we should pay a visit. Upon arrival we found a car park and then started walking along the main street. At almost every lace shop we were hassled by 'innocent looking lace makers' to come into their shops and see their handiwork. It made for a very unpleasant visit and one we would not want to repeat. If only they realised that if we had been left to wander and browse at our leisure we would have stayed longer and more than likely spent much more than we did. Away from the shops we found some lovely side streets of typical cottages etc.Unfortunately we had to repeat the whole experience to get back to the car!

A beautifull village devided to Pano and Kato Lefkara (mosty known to tourists is Pano Lefkara),with norrow streets, small taverns and coffee-shops, surrownded by an incredible nature every season of the year. It is located on the southern slopes of the Troodos Mountains. Is about an hour and half from Nicosia and very near to Larnaca. The village took it's name from the white of its silica and limestone and is famous for it's laces known as Lefkaritika. Leonardo da Vinci visited the village in 1481, and purchased a lace cloth for the Main Altar of the Duomo di Milano. Lefkara is also famous of silver handicrafts, of traditional dish
and of the very old church of (Holly Cross). You can also visit Fatsa Wax Museum (is about Cyprus History) for a fee of 5 euro for adults and 3.50 euro for children up to twelve years old.We visited Lefkara many times and every time we try to see something new in the area around.About 15 minutes from Lefkara at next village Kato Drys is the Monastery of Saint Minas and Platanos Restaurant with Cyprus Traditional cusine, plenty and tasty. Another good idea to have traditional lunch is at Maria's Restaurant at Vavatsinia village about 45' from Lefkara. -
you get to see how fresh hallomi is made and you can eat some while you are there too. We also saw the flour mill while we were there, which was very interesting.

The small village (Pano Lefkara, there are two small villages called Lefkara) is maybe the best "traditional village" I've seen ever in Bulgaria, Greece, Romania or Cyprus. Its narrow streets, small shops, taverns and hotels look simply amazing. You need to leave your car in a parking and then go for a 2-3 hours walk trough the village, have a great Cypriot coffee, a small lunch, buy a souvenir and take lots of pictures. It's maybe the best thing to do beside swimming in Cyprus....

Lovely traditional Village with Narrow streets and lots of Atmosphere, it`s in the Hills above Larnaca, Great Souvenir shops with Gold, Silver and Lace in abundance. We spent Hours looking before settling on some gifts from Harry and Maria Loizou`s Shop opposite the Tourist Pavilion Restaurant ! not pushy and very chatty.

Gives you an idea of what village life used to be like. Head off the main drag into the side streets. This place is all about lace there isn't really much else there

Small but lovely village. a couple of tourist shops selling lace and silver. Consider buying an icon as a souvenir as genuine products are for sale.

Leftists is renowned for its lace and silver, and there are certainly plenty of outlets for purchasing both in this scenic village. The shop beside the new car park is good, with a friendly and not too pushy owner. Very good choice of lace and jewellery. The shop at the top of the hill, opposite the town hall and cafe, is also good with fair prices. Although we did find the lady to be a bit too over zealous with her sales pitch! Best to be determined to only buy within budget, and choose those items that you really want. The church at the bottom of the village is worth a look around.
