Immerse into Cyprus’s soul, wander Lefkara lanes, meet artisan lace-makers, & visit the Golden Donkey Farm in Skarinou, all in the comfort of a fully air-conditioned and very spacious Mercedes Vito.
Begin your journey by being whisked away in Fully Air conditioned and spacious vehicles into Lefkara Village, nestled in the smalls of the Troodos hills of Larnaca District. Wander through stone-paved lanes, famous for delicate Lefkaritika lace and handcrafted silver. Discover artisans at work, secret courtyards draped with blooms, and a viewpoint overlooking rooftops and the sea.

Visit the Handicraft & Lace Shops, world-famous for handmade lace known as “Lefkaritiko lace” and silver filigree jewelry. Watch artisans at work and pick up genuine traditional pieces.

Meander through the village streets, admire terracotta roofs and traditional architecture, and soak in the atmosphere of a village deeply rooted in craft tradition. Take a look — olive groves and hillside paths offer lovely views of the region.

Relax in a shady spot with local delicacies, drinks, or a Cypriot coffee. Shop for Souvenirs to take home or natural local products, including donkey-milk cosmetics, liqueur, chocolates, olive oil, handcrafted and handmade souvenirs.

Also, try local sweets or delicacies tied to the villages.

Explore a beautifully restored home showing life in a 19th-century Cypriot village, a botanical garden with Mediterranean herbs, a wax museum showcasing traditional Cypriot professions, and an old olive mill.
