Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in one of the most beautiful villages in Europe? Lefkara, with its cobblestone streets, colourful window shutters and fragrant courtyards, looks as if it has stepped out of a postcard from another era. And yet, it manages to combine the charm of the past with modern comforts, proving that life in the village offers something truly unique: tranquillity, a strong sense of community, and closeness to nature.
Irresistible charm
The architecture of Lefkara is distinctive: stone-built houses, colourful windows, impressive wooden doors, and narrow paved alleys. The beauty of the village is such that, in 2015, Pano Lefkara was included in the list of the “30 Most Beautiful Villages in Europe” compiled by the Japanese Association of Travel Agents.
But Lefkara’s reputation goes beyond its picturesque character. The village is also known for its rich cultural heritage. In 2009, Lefkara lace embroidery was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Alongside the intricate lacework, the village is also world-renowned for its delicate handmade silver filigree.
Nestled on the southeastern slopes of the Troodos mountain range, Lefkara is divided into Pano and Kato Lefkara. Although located just under an hour from Nicosia and Limassol, and about half an hour from Larnaca, Lefkara remains lively throughout the year. This allows both its residents and visitors to enjoy everything the village has to offer, a combination of peace and a cosmopolitan spirit.
Exploring Lefkara
Lefkara is undoubtedly a village with a rich and fascinating history. A visit to the “Local Museum of Traditional Embroidery and Silversmith” confirms this. From urban furniture of the 19th and early 20th centuries to traditional costumes, silverwork, and Lefkara lace, the museum offers a window into the past. The “Lefkara Handicraft Centre” keeps this tradition alive by teaching embroidery and silversmithing to the younger generation.
One of the village’s most iconic landmarks is the majestic Church of the Holy Cross. Behind its iconostasis, visitors can admire wall paintings that date back to the 14th century. In addition to this central church, Lefkara is home to many chapels, a testament to the deep religious faith of its people, some of which are outstanding examples of Byzantine architecture. From the small chapel of Panagia Livadiotissa, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the Syrgatis River valley.
The village also boasts charming cafés serving homemade soumada and lemonade, as well as tavernas that celebrate the richness of local cuisine. Lefkara is particularly famous for its unique ttavas and traditional loukoumia (Cypriot delights).
And because one of the greatest advantages of village life is reconnecting with nature, the trail from Pano Lefkara to the Church of the Saviour offers a remarkable experience that can easily become part of your everyday life.
