Shopping in Cyprus
It’s easy to imagine what shopping must have been like in the ancient bazaars and marketplaces of Cyprus. Egyptians must have strolled down the walkways of Cyprus, wearing their sandals and bargaining for the most exotic fabrics to bring home to their girlfriends. Greek Queens visiting Cyprus would lead a procession through the tents of fine pottery, and pick the most lavish pieces to bring back to their palaces. The situation is similar today. In Cyprus you’ll find some of the best handmade lace, silks, baskets, pottery, silver and leatherworks. Window-shop for rare jewelry in Cyprus that dates back to the Mycenaean period. Silver forks and spoons are an ancient symbol for hospitality. These are just some of the treasures that can be found in Cyprus.
