Church of the Holy Cross, Lefkara

The focus of the trip is the exploration on foot of the picturesque village of Pano Lefkara and of the scenic manmade lake of Lefkara. Pano Lefkara would be the default meeting point of the trip (unless we arrange a free pickup from Larnaca, Ayia Napa, Protaras or Nicosia). Here one has the opportunity to explore on foot the stone-built village, which is the production center of the famed lace. As per local tradition Leonardo da Vinci visited the village and loved Lefkaritika lace. Besides meandering through the maze of the village, the village's central church is worth a visit for its history and architectural style. According to local tradition, it houses a piece from the Holy Cross.  The lake is surrounded by high hills, and one can see an islet and various lovely formations around. The local flora is diverse and the geology is characterised by shades of red (in contrast to the geology around Pano Lefkara which are characterised by white colours). The walking route on the dirt road can extend to at least ten kilometers, but it is the first five that provide a view towards the lake. The easy walk is on a hardly used dirt road. We walk back and forth on the same route. Our service doesnot include transportation. At the same time, we may gladly give travellers a free ride in our company's car (from Ayia Napa, Protaras, Larnaca, Nicosia). This would not be a paid service and we hold a private car insurance. At the same time, guiding time begins at the time travellers meet the guide.
