Shopping and Markets in Cyprus

Your holidays to Paphos will never be complete without doing some shopping. Even though there are a lot of things to do in Cyprus, nothing beats enjoying a tour around the markets in Cyprus and splurge in things that you can find nowhere else but here. Cyprus is the third largest among all Mediterranean islands. It offers the best tourist destination for a very relaxing holiday. A stay at the Athena beach hotel will let you experience luxury and comfort combined. Because of the dry and hot summer climate offered by this country, beach holidays would never be better compared to this.

Shopping in Cyprus

Aside from the beach and other activities to do, holidays to Paphos should also include shopping in the beautiful and quaint towns and villages that are spread throughout the island. Visit the Sunday market which is open weekly in Lanarca. This is where you can get the best experience in shopping. If you are lucky enough, you may even get a chance to experience haggling for a discount. In these local markets, you can have the opportunity to meet local traders and vendors where you can purchase items such as souvenirs, clothing, electronic equipment, local crafts as well as fresh and locally grown vegetables and fruits. This market is usually held during Sundays from 10 am to 1 pm, at the Emou Street car park.

While staying at Athena beach hotel, you can sneak out for some shopping at Makarios Avenue. This is a covered market where you can not only experience shopping at its best, but also sample local foods at the local restaurants and food stalls in the area. Even when you would just choose to stay at your hotel room to escape the summer heat, there is no need to worry because this covered market is refreshing and cool environment, shielded from the heat of the Mediterranean sun. Here you can also see a wide variety of local items and goods such as leather goods, jewellery, gold items, as well as travelling bags.
