The hugely significant global distinction recently bestowed upon Lefkara village by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) was recently officially announced by Lefkara Municipality and Larnaka Tourism Board (LTB) in the presence of the Cyprus deputy minister of tourism. Through this distinction, Lefkara has joined the international network of ‘Best Tourism Villages’.

The exquisite and richly historical embroidered lace linens of Lefkara village are the first traditional Cypriot product to be officially certified for values of authenticity and heritage by the Cyprus Organisation for Standardisation (CYS), of which the Cyprus Deputy Ministry of Tourism is also a stakeholder.
