Πάνω Λεύκαρα is a picturesque village in the mountains known for the craftwork and especially lace produced here. It also offers nice views on the mountains and a beautiful ancient church, the church of the Holy Cross. Strolling through the narrow streets of this village is nice, but the marketing of the community is so strong that sometimes large crowds of tourists are dropped off by buses. Just get a coffee somewhere and let them pass by.
On your way you might discover that there are the villages Pano Lefkara (Πάνω Λεύκαρα) and Kato Lefkara (Κάτω Λεύκαρα), a naming you can also find in other places. Pano is always the upper part of something, Kato the lower. If you’re arriving by car at Πάνω Λεύκαρα: there are many small parking areas throughout the city available for free. Finding one was pretty easy for me as the locals seem to have entered them in navigation systems like Waze.
