Spend a full day in the villages of Larnaca District, from the stone-built lanes of Pano Lefkara to the 19th-century houses of Kato Drys, with local sweets, a traditional pie, wine and olive oil along the way. The tour leaves Limassol every Friday at 09:00 from the Havouza bus station and lasts about 7 to 8 hours, with a tour escort, vehicle transport and lunch with one drink included.
Pano Lefkara, officially recognised as one of the 30 most beautiful towns in Europe, is the birthplace of some of Cyprus's most celebrated folk traditions, with centuries of history etched into its cobblestone streets and distinctive architecture. Its global fame comes from its exquisite handmade lace, known as Lefkaritika, a craft so legendary that Leonardo da Vinci visited the village in 1481 to buy a masterpiece tablecloth for Milan Cathedral. Beyond the lace, the village is a hub for master silverware artisans, a glimpse into a world of refined local prosperity.
Lefkara's famous delights have been a royal favourite since 1925, when they earned a prestigious award for their exceptional taste and aroma at the British Royal Exhibition. They were even recommended for the Queen's official preference list, a true delicacy fit for royalty.
Kato Drys is a living gallery and an irreplaceable expression of the wealth and variety of its cultural background, where 19th-century architecture and vibrant street art meet to tell a story of timeless elegance. At Madratzi tis Giagias, a local workshop, you learn about tremythopitta, one of the most traditional pies of Cyprus and a real ornament of the village.
Ktima Christoudia, the local winery of Kato Drys, invites you to a wine tasting to remember, following the process of winemaking from the grapes to the wine.
At Terra Oliva Olive Park you wander through a sprawling estate of 7,000 olive trees, dotted with hundreds of eternal trees aged between 300 and 1,000 years. Born from a deep respect for nature and a passion for organic cultivation, the farm is a sanctuary of tradition and biological harmony, and the visit ends with an exclusive tasting of the most iconic olive varieties ever grown.
Lunch with one drink, culinary demonstrations and the entrance fees for wineries and museums are included. Additional drinks are at your own expense. The tour needs a minimum of two participants, and children aged 5 to 12 join at the child price. Shoes with non-slip soles are mandatory. Hotel pick-up is not included: the tour meets at the Havouza bus station in Limassol, and any other pick-up points offered for your date are chosen when you book.
