Limassol Shore Excursion - This

Just a few minutes away from the city of Larnaca you can find and discover the Neolithic settlement of Choirokitia. The archaeological site of Choirokoitia has been a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. Remains from all phases of the Neolithic age are evident in the settlement, providing an insight of living conditions in the region during prehistoric times. Five characteristic cylindrical shaped dwellings have been reconstructed near the settlement, using the same construction methods and materials used in Neolithic times. They are fitted with replicas of household objects found inside the originals, thus providing a vivid representation of how they appeared in antiquity.

A small excursion at the picturesque village of Lefkara, known for its lace, the famous ‰Û÷lefkaritika‰Ûª lace, and for its silverware, will be the perfect opportunity to find a traditional souvenir for your trip. The village maintains its traditional architecture with its picturesque stone houses. In the village one can visit the church of the holy cross and the chapel of the Archangel Michael and enjoy the beauty of these villages.
