Description
This tour focuses on exploring the stone-built village of Pano Lefkara and the nearby Lefkara manmade lake on foot. Pano Lefkara is the usual meeting point unless a free pickup is arranged from Larnaca, Ayia Napa, Protaras, or Nicosia.
The village is known for its traditional lace production, locally called Lefkaritika. According to tradition, Leonardo da Vinci admired this lace during a visit. Visitors can wander through the village’s narrow streets and visit the central church, notable for its architecture and a relic believed to be a piece of the Holy Cross.
The nearby lake is surrounded by hills with an islet and distinctive red-hued geological formations, contrasting with the village’s white geology. The walking path follows a lightly used dirt road next to the lake, extending up to 10 kilometers, though the first 5 kilometers offer the best lake views. The walk is easy and returns along the same route.
