Shopping in Cyprus

by george5b

Cyprus is probably not the world's prime destination for shopping. If your suffering withdrawal symptoms while on holiday your best best is either Ledra Street in Nicosia or one of the large hypermarkets (Orphanides, AlfaMega, Carfour). Other than that you get the usual tourist souvenir shops and well as a couple of handicraft. Prices are not really cheap, although clothing can sometimes be cheaper than elsewhere in Europe. If you like them, Pashmina shawls can be bought for around 5-10 Pounds (depending on quality). Due to the strong Turkish Lira prices in the North are no longer cheaper, with the exception of some textiles. Beware however that some designer brands that are all too cheap may be fakes and you may loose them to Greek Cypriot customs when coming back.

SHOPPING

Nestling below the Troodos Mountains, 74 kilometers away from Nicosia, Lefke is a small and friendly town in the north west of Cyprus. The shopping and many other activities for tourist are situated in Nicosia. Main shopping area within the ancient city walls is on Ledra Street, a narrow pedestrian street ending at an army post, on the Green Line. The street is lined with many small shops, and some rather good footwear outlets. Several handicraft shops sell silver, copper and lace. There are also department stores selling the latest in fashion, nice cafeterias and snack bars. For a different experience you might want to try Macarios avenue, where you will find Stefanel, Benetton, Ermes and Marks and Spencer. Ledra Street and its surrounding areas is a beautiful shopping area within the old city of Nicosia, mostly kept for pedestrians. There are all sorts of shops ranging from antiques...

buyer beware: thinking of buying property?

by MrBill

It is the Siren's Call luring unsuspecting tourists onto the rocky shores of buyer-owned retirement homes and recreational properties, which can end in their financial ruin. It doesn't have to be, but the buyer has to beware and not let holiday euphoria cloud their better business sense. Prices of holiday homes have risen dramatically. Some of the reasons are obvious. A good climate; mainly sunny & warm weather; a mild winter; sand, beaches and the Mediterranean Sea. Cyprus has 628 kilometers of beach front to develop and there is no shortage of land for building on inland. Other factors have been low global interest rates; a rise in housing prices in the UK, which have lead many Britons to purchase second properties in Spain and Cyprus; the prospect of N. Cyprus and Cyprus being reunited; and, of course, Cyprus joining the EU in May 2004.Many Cypriots themselves have profited richly...

One word, JEWELRY!

by KelseyQ

The hotel was having a special show.It was very convenient after a few few drinks at the bar!I highly reccomend drinking some Champagne before you buy somehow it softends the blow..... White gold and precious stones are good value, silver too. All price ranges.

Bars, supermarkets etc.: Alcohol..............

by leics

Keo, the local 'lager beer' made with maize, is a beautiful golden colour, clear, clean-tasting and well worth drinking. Draught is best, of course, but bottles and cans are fine. Not worth buying any imported beer at all, in my opinion.We found we preferred the cheapest ouzo from the corner shop, but there's lots of choice (assuming you like aniseed).Zivania (think it's a grape spirit) is a most interesting experience. Worth a try! :-) Alcohol in shops seemed slightly cheaper than GB, slightly more expensive in bars and tavernas. Around 1.45 CP for half of Keo in a bar, or a small bottle of ouzo in a corner shop.

Pot Shop!: ~Paphos Pots~

by freya_heaven

There are lots of different types of pottery to buy here, with ancient greek designs to modern art. We bought a lovely momento of our time in Cyprus, a Vase type pot with greek art painted on it, Unfortunately Derek dropped it & it smashed. When we got home we stuck it together again & now it looks like an original ! (~_~) As much or as little as you want, there are also some seconds shops here to get a real bargin.

Gift shops: Shopping was fantastic.Opening Hours

by rachel_sun

What time shops open depends on the time of year.Summertime shops open from 8.30 am til about 7.30pm.In major tourist areas shops stay open til 10pm or so.Some shops close from 1 til 4pm.Gift shops tend to stay open til late.Furniture and electrical shops close for lunch etc.Most places close early on Wednesday and Saturday and I think this is because there are lots of weddings on these days and it's like their weekend to them.Most shops close all day Sunday.Banks do not open very long either.From around 8.30 am til 12.30pm.Some banks in busy resorts do a tourist service too and they will put notices of this on there front.Petrol stations open early.From around 6.30am til 7pm or so.Wednesday they also close early.2pm.Some petrol stations have a thing where you put the petrol in and pay in an automatic machine.You can pay with your card or notes.We found this easy.You simply pay for how...

Cyprus has beautiful sandals at good prices

by rachel_sun

Kato Paphos was a shoppers paradise.The gift shops also sold sandals.Ethnic style.I bought two pairs as the quality was good and the price was good too.These sandals cost me £8cy and £10cy.They are locally made and you will see them everywhere.The shopping was so much better than i ever imagined in Cyprus.Huge big shops and there was even a Next in Paphos. The best place to buy food is a supermarket.Pappantonios is a great supermarket on the Chloraka road.You will see large supermarkets everywhere near Paphos.Chris Cash and Carry on the Polis Road in Paphos was very good.It opens til 8pm and had a great selection of foods and drinks.I paid the following prices for things.4 cans pepsi=1.8585gms crisps=0.46orange juice one lr=0.89hamburger 100gms=0.48bottle aphrodite dry white wine=2.20packet 6 swordfish frozen steaks=3.38bottle liquor 100ml 1.50750ml liquor banana 2.90frozen...
