Lefkara is truly enchanting. On a narrow, picturesque alley, one of the most beautiful boutique hotels offers a unique blend of modern comfort and traditional Cypriot atmosphere. Right next to it, there's a dead-end alley with abandoned houses full of charm and waiting for their renewal. These houses uniquely charm Lefkara, reflecting its rich history and cultural heritage. Walking through these streets, you can feel like part of a fairy tale, where the past harmoniously blends with the present, creating the unique atmosphere of this village.
This guide will introduce us to Larnaca and Lefkara, a seaside city and mountain village revealing Cyprus's essence. Larnaca is an ancient city with a rich history of Greeks and Turks, where the Church of Saint Lazarus—one of the most important sanctuaries of the Orthodox world—coexists with the Mosque of Umm Haram, the fourth most significant mosque in the Muslim world.
We will stroll through the streets of Larnaca, admire the murals, and experience the charm of this Mediterranean city undergoing renewal.
Next, we will visit perhaps the most famous village in Cyprus—Lefkara, renowned for its unique embroidery and silver craftsmanship traditions, and the church that houses a relic of the True Cross on which Jesus was crucified. Beyond these significant historical sites and events, you will be captivated by the charm of Cyprus, its peaceful nooks, enduring traditions, and serene atmosphere.
Cyprus is embodied in its mountain villages, where its heart and soul reside.
