A
Bear Factory
Nothing to do with either the sea or Cyprus, but always guaranteed to make the little ones drool, are teddy bears. And here, at the Bear Factory, children can choose the kind of teddy bear they want.
They can choose the 'skin' or the softness of the material, how hard or soft the bear's 'insides' are, and even a 'heart'. Oh, and they can implant sound devices too. Then they get to choose its name, and watch it being sewn up, so they can feel the bear is truly their creation. And they get to take it away in its very own box, with, wait for it, a birth certificate! (Parents note: all major credit cards are accepted, so no wrangling.)

Niki's Sweet Factory
A wonderful Mediterranean way to put some sweetness into your life is preserving fruit, so that in winter when, for example, figs are but a distant dream, you can dip into a jar of fig preserve and beat the winter blues. Niki's Sweet Factory dedicates its entire business to this tasty therapy, and sells products like orange marmalade, fig preserve and diabetic walnut sweets. Ask about the healing properties of some of the preserves.
Niki sells her products all over Cyprus and even exports as far as Australia.
