Koza
Cyprus' heritage of producing silk from silk worms and the once ubiquitous mulberry trees comes alive in this shop, where the owner, Munise, together with her elderly mother, hand-weaves the silk patterns. The patterns were traditionally used for picture frames, or simply as framed wall decorations themselves. Koza is on the 1st floor, above Moniat Macun.

Moniat Macun
Moniat Macun Macun is the art of fruit-preserving, and the lady who owns this shop has perfected that art. She preserves almost anything she comes across (so watch out), from exquisite green walnuts pickled while still raw, with a pungent, almost bitter taste; to the soft texture of melon and watermelon that melts in the mouth. You can try the preserves before you commit, but a lovely jar will be a tasty reminder of summer fruits during the cold days of winter.

Rüstem Kitabevi
Once almost legendary for its organised chaos, this place has taken control of its stock and all is now neatly arranged on shelves. It is still, however, a well-supplied store, with old and new books, and many English-language reads, plus a rack of all kinds of magazines.
