Woolworth's: Cyprus Delight

by rachel_sun

I was surprised how good the supermarkets were in Cyprus.Very modern and with it.Everything also was marked up in English.They had a Woolworth's in Cyprus.It was on the road towards airport.Paphos airport from Kato Paphos.Woolworth's was a huge shop.Downstairs it sold garden ware and kitchen stuff.BBQ'S and sunloungers.DIY tools etc.Blinds.Lights.Plates.Household goods.Then upstairs there was a huge selection of clothes.It was very trendy and when I go back I will buy some clothes as they were a good price. Woolworth's also sold food.I bought some locally produced Cyprus Delight here and some Aphrodite wine.The food was slightly dearer than a normal supermarket but it was like say Marks and Spencer quality.The Cyprus delight came in many flavours and pineapple was my fav.It was only around 0.70cy.I bought 4 boxes home as gifts.Woolworth's also sold a big range of olives in oil and...

Local gift shops: Sunglasses were a great price

by rachel_sun

Also in Kato Paphos I found sunglasses were good prices.Most gift shops had racks of sunglasses for sale.You could buy fake designer ones or just normal ones.I bought the pair in the pic for £7cy.My mum and nanny bought a pair of fake desinger ones for £8 cy.Glasses are also good value in Cyprus.My dad bought his glasses while in Cyprus as they are better quality and alot cheaper than here in England. I also saw loads of cd's and dvd's for sale in gift shops.Some were pirate copies.I bought one cd called Mikis Theodorakis-instrumental & songs with bouzouki.It cost me £4 cy.My mum went into a shop and heard a modern type Greek cd playing and she asked the owner if he had it for sale and he said yes.She bought it for £2cy.It was a pirate copy.I saw shelves full of pirate dvd's too but did not buy any.There were films out that I thought had not come to dvd yet in the shops. £2cy for...

Great gifts

by rachel_sun

Cyprus had amazing shopping and things such as leather,woven goods,ceramics,copperware,baskets,silverware and Lefkara lace are all must buys.Lefkara lace is from a village near the Troodos mountains as is very famous and is widely exported .You can also buy huge woven coloured baskets that are used to carry bread in.You will see these everywhere. Silverware and copperware are worth buying.My mum bought my nanny a silver ring for £15cy and the range of beautiful necklaces and rings was amazing.There are many good jewellers around.Also amber is a good buy in Cyprus.You can also buy fake desinger watches.My mum's watch had a flat battery after a few days and she tried getting the battery fixed but not one shop could do it as her watch needed a special machine that presurised the back to remove the watch back.So she bought a cheap fake watch so she had the time on her etc.It cost her...

Leather belts and wallets etc.: Leather was fantastic value.

by rachel_sun

I found the shops down at Kato Paphos harbour great for gifts to take back home.The leather goods were very good value.Most shops near harbour sold belts(real leather) and leather bags and wallets etc.I bought my dad a leather belt for £6cy.And my hubby a leather belt for £3cy.The choice was huge and some shops had special offers on.I bought myself a small zip up purse, again real leather for £3cy.Shops had racks of leather belts hanging up.Also along Kato Paphos harbour and road along coast there were lots of little pleasant squares too that had shops around them. Leather belts and wallets and bags and purses. £3-6cy for a real leather belt.£3cy for a real leather purse.£20cy for a real leather handbag.

Art and Craft Pottery: Loads of pottery shops around

by rachel_sun

Another great pottery shop I found was on the way back from Visiting Aphrodite's Rock.It was a huge warehouse style shop and it was full up of wonderful pots and plates and mugs etc.We spent about half an hour looking round.It also had outside pots etc for sale.This is where my mum bought me the carafe jug.It was £6 cy.I now have it in my kitchen. Buy some beautiful hand painted plates and cups.They also done tiles and house numbers.Mugs,flower pots, outside pots,egg cups,vases.Basically anything and everything you could think of.Along the road this shop is on there were also sebeval other pottery shops worth checking out.You could simply pull up and park outside.They open from around 9am til around 8pm.Some close for lunch from 1pm til 4pm. A carafe was £6 cy and my mum bought two tiles with her house number on for £3 cy.

Local Supermarkets: Locally produced alcohol was great value.

by rachel_sun

I really enjoyed shopping for locally produced drinks.The local beer called Keo was very good and I found the local Liquors very tasty.I bought 5 bottles back.The small bottles in the picture cost me £1.50 each(Cy£) and the large bottle cost me £3.50(cy£).Wine in the supermarkets was also good value.You could buy cartons and bottles.A bottle of wine cost about £2.English.Or £2.50 Cy.Anything that has been imported is expensive.Stuff like named brands such as Malibu,Bacardi Rum etc.Dearer than the Uk.A bottle of Malibu was £18 cy £.Very expensive.So shop for locally made drinks as they are great value. Raki(Turkish) and Zivania(Greek) was also good value.The range of alcohol was huge and I had a blast trying all sorts of stuff.The wine was very good indeed and I got through plenty of bottles.Again drink the local made stuff.The liquors came in tasty flavours.I bought a banana one,...

Plenty of local pottery to buy

by rachel_sun

I found the Pottery wonderful in Cyprus.Huge big shops that made and sold vast quantities of pottery were around Paphos.My mum likes the huge earthenware storage jars which are called pitharia.We saw some of these pots at people's entrances to their houses.They used to be used for keeping oil and water etc.They are very expensive and hard to move and break easily as their size is so big.A village called Kornos still makes and sells pottery.I enjoyed walking along Kato Paphos harbour and looking at the huge range of beautifully coloured and painted pottery.I bought myself a caraffe pot for wine(well my mum bought it for me) and a small olive bowl.The oilve bowl was £3. The choice of pots and plates was simply mind blowing.One place I stopped at was called Savvas Pottery.It was a huge shop full of stunning hand made pottery.The company has been going since 1964.The shop had modern pieces...

Lefkaritica lace

by tagalonggal

The hand made lace of Cyprus is an endangered craft as not enough young women are taking the place of the elder craft women. As well, cheaper machine made lace competes with hand made in most shops. The price of the lace depends on the quality of the hand work and the difficulty of the design.

Village Lace Shop

by tagalonggal

Lefkaritica lace is named after the village of Lefkara where it originates from. This beautiful lace is truly the work of artists. The shop walls and counters are covered with items to suit every budget. This depends on your pocketbook!

Laiki Geitonia

by tagalonggal

Laiki Geitonia is made up of narrow winding stone streets that have, for the most part, been carefully restored. Wandering through the area, you’ll find shops, tavernas, traditional Cypriot homes. This is a popular area for tourists and Cypriots to leisurely browse among the many shops. Closed to traffic, its pace is very relaxing. Lace, lace and more lace! What you spend depends on the item you buy. Hand made lace is always more expensive but the quality makes it worth spending more.
