Donut Market, Paralimni
I just love their tagline ... 'You can't buy happiness, but you can buy Donuts, and that's kind of the same thing' ... so pop in or call them and give someone something different for their wedding, birthday party, name day, naughty days and well, everyday ... with cool discounts for large orders ... and if you order a minimum of 100 he'll even deliver them to your party.
Driving you to Drink
... Anyway, I imagine there'll be a few clinking bottles en route !

Xenophontos Opticians, Ayia Napa

Rustic Furniture Collection, Paralimni
I've known Andri, Jimmy and Christina since before they opened. What I like about this team is the obvious passion for their business, as you walk in, the immediate impression is that this company has a touch of class!
Y2K Boutique, Ayia Napa
Emily has an obvious passion for fashion, much as it was more of a hobby in her early days, somehow it's just evolved, you know, to some people being able to select the right items, designs and colours, comes naturally, but of course matching them together is the art of a stylist ... her selection, wonderful combinations, original designer wear, a touch above the rest, in quality and value and here you'll find fully trained staff with excellent styling abilities!
Friendship Circle, Larnaca, Cyprus
This amazing duet arrived early, togged up to the nine's in protective gear and scared the living daylights out of my neighbours, I had to go and explain ... They came inside, separated and started, one spraying sanitiser onto the floors the other with steam cleaner in hand, covering all the surfaces, sofas, and door handles and everything else ... I must say they seemed very thorough ...
Malls & Markets
Large shopping malls have popped up in every major city ... a couple in the Capital Nicosia aka Lefkosia The Mall of Cyprus, conveniently...
