Art in Cyprus is part of the country's history and tradition. As far back as ancient times, Cyprus has been famous for its handicrafts. At the Handicraft Centre in Limossol, you can buy locally made gifts and souvenirs, such as jewellery, mosiacs, ceramic pieces and woodcarvings, all created using traditional skills by local crafts people.

Limassol Central Market, Cyprus

Limassol has a central market which starts each morning at ‘the crack of dawn’ and really is brimming over with great fruit, vegetables, honey, nuts and all types of other delights – not surprisingly many owners of local restaurants buy produce for their businesses there! To take a wander early in the morning around the market, is an excellent way to start the day, followed by breakfast in one of the unique outdoor cafes nearby.

The market itself is housed in a graceful pillared stone building, filled with stalls full of Cypriot delicacies such as handmade reed baskets, olive oil, and loukoumia. The stone paved square outside often becomes a venue for shows and fairs throughout the year.

LOCATION: Saripolou, in the old district near the town hall.
OPENING HOURS: 7am to 2pm MON to SAT
