A village where craftsmanship runs through every stone path. Known for its UNESCO-listed lacework and silversmithing, Lefkara invites slow exploration. Visit the Museum of Traditional Embroidery and Silversmith, and drop by the Lefkara Handicraft Centre to witness women preserving the centuries-old technique of lefkaritika. The Church of the Holy Cross, with its relic said to contain a piece of the True Cross, is another quiet highlight. Just a few minutes’ drive away, the village of Kato Drys offers a scenic stop for coffee or a traditional lunch at Stou Roushia—a classic taverna with a big Cypriot heart.
Guests at Amyth of Nicosia can enjoy a private embroidery workshop with Margarita Charalambous, a master embroiderer who learned the craft from her grandmother. This intimate experience allows you to engage firsthand with the delicate art of lefkaritika, guided by one of the region’s finest artisans. For more information and to arrange participation in this workshop, please contact our Front Office team, who will be happy to assist you.
