Stay in Pano Lefkara

Pano Lefkara is one of Cyprus’s most celebrated villages, set on the south eastern slopes of the Troodos mountains at an altitude of around 600 metres. Built amphitheatrically into the hillside, it feels like a living painting, with stone houses, narrow streets, and white limestone landscapes unfolding slowly as you walk, while its location in the Larnaka district places it within easy reach of Nicosia, Limassol, and the coast, blending mountain calm with cultural richness and making it one of the island’s most rewarding places to stay.

A Village Built Around Craft

Pano Lefkara is internationally known for its lace embroidery and silverwork, traditions that shaped both the identity and economy of the village. These crafts are still visible today in workshops, museums, and quiet courtyards, where skill and patience are passed down through generations.

A Place for Slow, Cultural Travel

Life in Pano Lefkara moves at a gentler pace. Days are shaped by walking, conversation, light, and seasonal rhythms rather than schedules. It is an ideal destination for travellers seeking cultural depth, mountain air, and an authentic village atmosphere away from the coast.

Architecture Shaped by Time

Stone houses built closely together, narrow paved streets, arches, and inner courtyards define the village’s unique character. Influenced by Byzantine, Frankish, and Venetian periods, the architecture of Pano Lefkara tells a story of adaptation, craftsmanship, and life lived inward, around family and community.
