What To Expect
Pano Lefkara
We'll start the day by driving to Pano Lefkara. The village is located 700 metre above the sea level on the foothill of Troodos mountains. It is famous with its silver wear and the lace work which is called'Lefkaridi'. Leonordo da Vinci ordered an altar cloth to the Cathedral of Milan in 1481 from this village and they have the design named after him. Many houses in the village have been restored recently. The narrow roads with beautiful balconies and door frames are just beautiful to walk around. You will see local shops and each of them selling the lace work or the silverwear while you inspire in the beautiful village.
Paphos Gate
We drive to Nicosia. Our first stop in the capital will be the Paphıs Gate in the walled city. This gate is one of the three gates which was built during the Lusignan period. Ottoman Sultan has added his signature on the gate. After we park our car we start to walk in the walled city of Nicosia to the Ledra Street crossing point.

5.00The perfect day tour around the town. I highly recommend this private tour - you don’t feel rushed and get to soak up the charm of this old town. The traditional Cypriot coffee was the best I had since leaving home (Sydney).
