How to get there
The village is situated at the foot of the Troodos Mountains in the south eastern region, 650m above sea level, 45 km from Nicosia, 30 km from the Larnaca airport and just 12 km from the Nicosia – Limassol highway.
It is not really far from the sea, yet, it is located high enough for the moist air coming in from the sea to get dry by the time it reaches the village.
Therefore, Lefkara becomes an excellent destination during summer time because of the relatively low humidity from May to October and also the mild temperatures in the region.
Getting around
In the unlikely event that you are struggling to find things to do in Cyprus, consider taking a day trip to the village of Lefkara. It sits on the southern slopes of the Troodos Mountains at an altitude of about 600 metres and, with its red-tiled roofs and ochre walls of local stone set against the backdrop of the hazy blue peaks, is incredibly scenic. The healthy climate of Lefkara, the hospitality of its people, the tradition of the embroidery craft and the unspoilt Cypriot naturalness and simplicity, are some of the many reasons why thousands of people from around the world come to visit, and it is undoubtedly one of the top attractions in Cyprus.
