 Karia

|
Karia a hilly village, 14km from the town of Lefkada. People live according to the traditional way of life. The village is famous for its needlework, the famous “karisanika”, with the special karisianiki stitch.
A revival of Karisanikos wedding is held every August. The village then is full of tourists, who want to know the island’s traditions.
In 1912 was established a needlework School, where young Lefkadian women since then learn needlework – with a long tradition – from elder women.
Everyday life of hilly Lefkada revives through the exhibits of the Folkloric museum.
