Cultural tour of the mountain villages (Karya)
Lace, traditions and authentic life in Karya village
A tour through Lefkada's mountain villages, with the main stop at Karya, famous for its handmade lace and embroidery. You visit the plane-tree-shaded square, the traditional museum and the local workshops, discovering the island's authentic life far from the beaches.
The plane-tree square
The tour centres on Karya, a mountain village gathered around a square shaded by huge plane trees. Here life flows slowly, over a Greek coffee, far from the crowded beaches.
Karya lace
The village is renowned for karsaniko, the embroidery handmade by the local women for over a century. At the dedicated museum you see how it's made and why it became a symbol of the island.
Workshops and traditions
You wander the stone-house lanes, step into the craftspeople's workshops and taste homemade products. This is the authentic face of Lefkada, the one beyond the coast.
