Suitcases & Leather goods are Popular in Cyprus

by greekcypriot

I don't want to give names of shops here. Leather goods are sold everywhere on the island. If you come to Cyprus you will surely buy anything that has to do with leather.This can be a leather suitcase, (even if it is not leather, the quality is good and much cheaper than anywhere else). Trendy bags, and trendy clothes from the many boutiques in the central area. There are so many shops to choose from. I don't want to advertise one, but each time I fly to Cyprus I see more and more nice shops.Silverware is also popular and there are many silversmiths' shops. Be aware though and don't trust easily. You might get silver plated things instead of silver. ****** *****Some other ideas for Popular Art and Craft Souvenirs which can easily be found across the Island of Cyprus - Lace Delicate hand-made lace from Lefkara and Omodos has been famous for centuries. The real hand-made lace is a bit...

Shopping for pottery at Troodos Mountains

by hopang

If you intend to shop for pottery works in Cyprus, Troodos Mountains is the place to shop! You can get better quality products at much reduced price than those of the outlets in the lowlands. There are numerous pottery shops at Troodos Mountains and most of the local craftsmen at the mountains are very skillful at their works. Don't miss the opportunity to shop for Cyprus pottery when you are at Troodos Mountains.

Sunday open-air markets at Larnaca

by hopang

Larnaca weekly Sunday Market is held at a parking lot at Ermou Street in the heart of the city of Larnaca which is the third largest in the Republic of Cyprus. The Sunday open-air market is held once a week between 10.00 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. Wide range of consumer items are on sale by local traders at a bargain such as clothings, local crafts, souvenirs, travelling bags, watches, sunglasses, staionery, CDs and DVDs, electrical equipment, refreshments, and fresh flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Local crafts, souvenirs and fresh fruits are highly recommended. Certainly cheaper than in other outlets.

Covered shopping markets, Nicosia

by hopang

The covered shopping market at Makarios Avenue is an ideal and excellent location for shopping, dinning or to chill out to escape the heat of the city especially during the hot summer months of July and August. The shopping lanes offer wide range of items on sale such as table clothes, bed sheets and other consumer goods, clothings, apparels, local jewelleries and costume jewelleries, souvenirs, leather goods such as handbags, belts and travelling bags. We had our delicious Greek sallads at one of the restaurants at the covered market. Prices of goods at the covered markets especially souvenirs from Cyprus and local crafts and jewelleries are generally cheaper than those in the large shopping malls nearby such as City Plaza.

SESTA

by Arkeolog

You can find sesta's all around the N.Cyprus. In Nicosia Grand Inn and Hasder offers good selection of sesta's. Sesta: One of Northern Cyprus’ national symbols is the sesta a local handcicraft made by weaving wheat stems that have been coloured with natural dyes.They are frequently used as a tray to serve food and drinks to guests or upon which to eat meals, although often they are merely used for decoration. Notable for their colour, design and weaving pattern,sestas are unforgettable mementos or souvenirs by which to remember your visit to Northern Cyprus.

Lefkara Lace

by Arkeolog

In Grand Inn some of the shops on the lower floor also sell the lace doilies unique to Cyprus. Also known as lefkara crafts, these doilies have been made by the women of Cyprus for centuries. In fact, it is said that when Leonardo da Vinci visited Cyprus, he was so impressed by the patience required to make them and their elegance that he purchased some of the doilies to take back to his homeland. The doilies that you see during your tour of the Grand Inn are sometimes made in the form of delicate coasters, sometimes as attractive side table covers and sometimes in a stylish glass tray. They are perfect for gracing a stylish table or as an accessory with your apparel and handbags. Wherever they are used, they are ideal for anyone desiring to add an aesthetic touch to their life with traditional hand-made Cypriot crafts.At the lower floor of Grand Inn there is a shop, runs by Mrs Shenay...

any craft shop: souvenirs

by uglyscot

There are so many places along the highways where pottery and crafts can be bought Stop look and get a feel for what is available and then choose.Small villages may have their own shops selling specialities like in Lefkara. Pottery is nice, and the lace too, though it can be very expensive Also beware that the so called Lefkara lace may actually have been made in China. We went with a Cypriot friend who made sure we got the genuine article. It depends on what you want. The Lefkara lace can be very expensive.

unknown: Lefkara Lace

by dumb-tourist

We went to Cyprus as a port on our cruise. We were only thee for about 5 hours and met a family member for lunch so we didn't have long to shop. I fell in love with the traditional Lefkara Lace table cloths. We found a street in the shopping area with many lace shops. I purchased 3 table cloths from 3 different shops. I was told they were all hand made from the local women in Cyprus. They are beautiful!! I was very dissapointed when I returned home and found a tag inside that read.."Made In China". Buyer beware. 8-20 US dollars.

SMA Baby Milk in Cyprus

by cyprus4holidays

HiS26 Gold baby milk is the same UK version of SMA. It's available in most of the big supermarkets such as Orphanides and Carrefour. We also have Debenhams stores, which have food departments but may not carry all of the items you will find in the UK departments.Only available in powdered form.Cyprus4holidaysLimassol

Everywhere: Fresh Local Food

by steventilly

There's a big thing here in the UK about how far our food travels. Tomatoes from Spain, potatoes from Portugal, aubergines from Turkey, almost nothing seems to be local. They reckon the average British food basket has travelled thousands of miles. In Cyprus it couldn't be more different, absolutely everything on the fresh fruit & veg stalls in the markets and supermarkets is locally grown. The only thing I spotted that came from outside of Cyprus was ginger and, strangely, garlic. Apple, orange, lemon, courgette, potato, tomato, aubergine, spinach, rocket, parsley, coriander, mushroom, cucumber, celery, none of it had come more than a few kilometres. And it was oh so tasty and cheap.I've never had anything like their tomatoes. Ours are full of seeds - remove those and you're left with almost nothing. Cypriot ones were, by contrast, all flesh with very little seeds and oh so sweet and...
