Island of Corfu is the northern-most of the Ionian Islands off the west coast of Greece is dominated by two ancient fortresses. Narrow alleyways open into squares full of brightly coloured flowers. And old meets new as traditional tavernas and 'ouzeries' jostle for space between smart boutiques and elegant pavement cafés. Hunt out handmade lace, pottery and leatherware, and enjoy a friendly haggle with the amiable vendors.

Island of Cyprus is divided between Greece and Turkey. In Cyprus traditional Lefkara Lace making, the embroidery crafting was preserved through the centuries from generation
to generation, passed on from mother to daughter. Although this is more technically called an embroidery rather than a lace it is referred to locally as lace.
 

Cypriot Lefkara lace.  shown here is a 'square' mat which is 13" x 14" and the design in the middle at 45 degrees to the edges. It's very similar to Hardanger embroidery and the edge is just buttonhole bars.
