Shopping in Larnaca
Larnaca is a modern, busy city full of interesting things. There are sights and museums to visit, cafes and taverns to rest and eat and most of all, shops full of wonderful things to buy.
Your shopping can start at the duty free shops in Larnaca Airport. Apart from the usual duty free goods, all tourists can take advantage of, Larnaca Airport shops have a wide selection of typical Cypriot wines and drinks in lovely gift bottles, if you care for that sort of thing. This doesn’t mean that you won’t find such objects in the city as well. The market of Larnaca is certainly smaller than that of Nikosia but there is nothing to miss from the busy market of the capital but the hustle of traffic and the anguish of finding a parking space. The market is along and around Zenonos Kitieos street, a lively street with many small shops , boutiques, fashion outlets, grocery stores and jewelry windows, much like any small city central market street in Europe. Larnaca indeed has a European market, including shopping centers and large supermarkets, such as the two level Orphanides supermarket who offer everything, from food products to designer garments and from Marks and Spencer’s to small gift shops. Cypriot jewelry shops are also interesting but you should always remember to haggle the price.
’Haggle like a peasant, buy like a king’. It was not the Cypriots who first said that, it was actually the Chinese, but it is very true in the case of Larnaca’s Open Sunday Market. Again, you shouldn’t expect to find a Turkish bazaar or anything of the sort. Cyprus is a member of the EU and prices as well as quality are progressively standardized. But, for better or for worse , tradition is still strong and you should exercise caution If you want to take advantage of this market’s great bargains.
