Shopping

Kyrenia and Famagusta are the main central shopping areas where you will find a variety of local shops from lower priced stores to more chic boutiques. It is not a secret that these locations are famous for high quality imitation designer goods, leather is particularly good. You will enjoy wandering around the high street and narrow lanes where you can buy anything from high street fashion to souvenirs. The local handicrafts include pottery, baskets, silk scarves, cushion covers, hand painted tiles and ornaments. The local Lefkara embroidered lace is very popular. Carpets, small rugs and colourful glass lanterns are also popular items. Never forget that you can always travel to Nicosia city centre and even cross the border if you want to sample retail outlets and shopping centres in the South.
