Conference Banquet: (Buses are scheduled to depart from the Conference Hotel at 4:30pm). Venue: Lefkara Village. Built 730m above sea level, in the foothills of the Troodos Mountains, Lefkara is one of the prettiest villages in Cyprus. Its population is roughly 1,500 and it has numerous small restaurants, tavernas and cafes to offer. The narrow, winding streets with traditional old houses attracts many artists, but Lefkara is more famous as the home of Cyprus lace. Women still sit in the narrow streets and courtyards making lace and beautiful linen openwork in intricate and traditional patterns, as they have done for hundreds of years. Apparently Leonardo da Vinci bought
the cover for Milan Cathedral's altar from Lefkara in 1481.
