Shopping in Larnaka

  1. A

    Michael S Michael Antiques

    This place is a real treat. It's like delving into the town's history through the dusty antiques, old glassware, jewellery and ornaments. The cool, cavernous shop is owned and run by Michalis (Mr Michael), who will give you the lowdown on each item's past. Check out the charming glass paintings by a local artist, which include portraits and depict the circle of life, and lost love. A hurricane lamp makes an excellent souvenir.

    Symeou Efthymios

    Larnaka is good for one thing in particular: pottery. Good quality ceramics are produced in small workshops, most of which are based around Ak Deniz in the old Turkish quarter. Take your time and explore the various styles and prices before you choose. The potters will always give a small gift when you buy a few things. Check out Symeou Efthymios with similar crafts, but with the potter's own touch.

    Emira Pottery

    Emira Pottery is popular and well signposted, but has less of a workshop and more of a shop feel.
