The mountainous village of Lefkara belongs to the district of Larnaca and is divided into Pano and Kato Lefkara. The community is built at an altitude of 480 meters at the foot of the south-eastern side of the Troodos Mountain range.

Today the village is well-known for the embroidery called “Lefkaritika” in Europe, America and also Australia. The geometric rose patterns in the Lefkarita needlework are reminiscent of the circular windows in Gothic churches.
