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.

Cleopatra's Shop
Make sure you pop into the fabulously strange Cleopatra's Shop, in the village centre opposite the Petit Palais Hotel. Located in a gorgeous, envy-provoking mansion, this shop is run by two charming ageing sisters who are happy to pass on little details about the history of Platres. The mansion is a sight in itself, and you may find an unusual souvenir among the many knick-knacks.

Virgin Records
The place music-lovers might want to head for, just off Leoforos Stasinou near the D'Avila Bastion. Here you can get all the latest Greek and non-Greek releases as well as buy tickets for the many music acts that come to Lefkosia in the summer.

Cyprus Handicraft Centre
As in other cities across Cyprus, this government-sponsored centre is the best place for getting your traditional handmade stuff. You can be sure you're not being ripped off and that what you buy won't fall apart as soon as you take it home.

Marilyn's Book Swap
The sister bookshop to Anna's Book Swap, functioning on the same principle of 'recycling' your books. You buy the first one at full price, and once you've read it and come back to return it, you get 40% towards the price of the second book.
