Begin your tour with a pickup from your hotel and head to a family-run organic olive farm just outside the village. Walk among ancient olive trees, some over a thousand years old, and learn about the island’s most treasured ingredient.
Your host will explain the process of harvesting and pressing the olives, followed by a tasting of fresh olive oil and local delicacies — from olive jam and schnapps to handmade cosmetics and soaps.
Next, head to Lefkara, famous for its Lefkaritika lace and intricate silverwork. Stroll through its picturesque alleys and meet local artisans still crafting lace and jewellery by hand — skills passed down through generations. Legend says that Leonardo da Vinci once took a piece of Lefkara lace to adorn the altar of Milan’s cathedral.
Have time to browse small shops, photograph the colourful stone houses, or simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this beautiful mountain village.
To round off your Lefkara experience, visit a local donkey farm, a favourite stop for guests of all ages. Set among olive trees, this peaceful sanctuary lets you meet, feed, and gently pet the donkeys while learning about the traditional uses of donkey milk in Cypriot skincare and wellness. A small café on site invites you for a refreshing break before returning to your accommodation.
