The traditional
embroideries of Karia are undoubtedly remarkable of art.
To the present day women still embroider and weave in the same
old, traditional way they were taught by their grand-mothers,
creating masterpieces. The Lefkadian weaver is the mother of
the renowned woven embroideries traditionally called ‘karpeto’
and ‘mantanies’.
The mountain area is known for the unique and traditional dish
of Englouvis lentils.
Producing high quality olive oil, wine, citrus, honey and almonds,
as well as breeding all kinds of fish and fish-roe are of special
importance for the Lefkadian economy.
Special kinds of cooked meats like salami as well as different
kinds of sweets like ‘mantolata’ (nougat) and pasteli
(sweet of honey and sesame), and also the beverage ‘soumada’
(orgeat) are some examples of traditional products of the island. |
