Lefkara village Cyprus

Today we are exploring together the beautiful village of Lefkara.
The mountainous village of Lefkara is split into Pano Lefkara and Kato Lefkara which means higher and lower Lefkara. Situated at the foot of the Troodos Mountains in the south eastern region, the lovely village is listed among "The 30 most beautiful towns in Europe".
Its character is very picturesque with narrow, winding streets and traditional architecture of old houses that will definitely offer’s you an unforgettable experience.
The women of the village are often sat outside their picturesque homes, creating the world-renowed ‘Lefkaritika’ lace pieces that have been made in the village since Venetian times and are on the UNESCO Intangible World Heritage. According to legend, Leonardo da Vinci visited in 1481, and purchased a lace cloth for the main altar of the Duomo di Milano.
Ιf you are visiting this place, don’t miss the chance to visit The Folk Art Museum. The Museum of Popular Art is hosts exquisite embroidery samples some of which date back to the 19th century.
The village is also known for its skilled silversmiths who produce fine filigree work. Visitors can learn all about the delicate filigree silver pieces at the Lefkara Handicraft Centre, the Museum of Traditional Embroidery, and various workshops where you can watch craftsmen at work.
In this beautiful village you can also admire numerus ancient chapels, including the church of Holy Cross and the chapel of Archangelos Michail in Kato Lefkara, with finest wall paintings that date from the 12th century.
On a small distance to the North of the village, following the road to the village of Kornos, there is the Lefkara Dam. The whole landscape of the dam is reminiscent of Swiss lakes or Norwegian fiords.
Lefkara is one of the most wonderful places in Cyprus.
We hope you enjoyed the tour and see you in the next video.
