The villages surrounding Larnaca are some of the best places to visit if you want to get a feel for traditional Cypriot life. Famous for its lace production, the village of Lefkara, west of Larnaca, is a delightful place to explore, full of wonderfully preserved mansion architecture, quaint cafés, and a bundle of lace shops where local women sit in the sun outside creating new lace pieces for sale. Lefkara lace gets its fame from the local story that Leonardo da Vinci bought a piece of lace here in 1481 to be used as an altar cloth in Milan's cathedral. When you've finished shopping, the winding alleys lead you to Lefkara Local Museum, which contains dioramas of traditional local life and is brimming with information on the village's history. Afterwards, stroll on to the Church of Archangelos Michael, which holds some important 12th-century icon paintings. The village lies about 38 kilometers southwest of Larnaca and is difficult to access by public transport, so it's best to hire a car, or take a taxi, here.
