Larnaca has an extremely varied and interesting shopping centre. For the size of town the shopping facilities are vast. You can find practically anything you may want from shops specializing in nuts and sweetmeats to designer clothes. Nearly all of the shopkeepers speak good English and many speak enough Swedish or German to communicate. The new generation of shop girls however seem to have a new fashion in as much as they won't speak any English. The only drawback to shopping in Larnaca is that you can spend a whole day wandering around and not even notice time passing. Sales are usually held in August when 50% to 80% discounts are not unusual. September 1st to June 30th are winter opening hours which run from Open 09.00 until 13.00 and  15.00 until 19.00 The official times are 09:00 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 20:30 but many shops do as above instead and close on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons Summer opening hours run from Open 09.00 until 13.00 and  16.00 until 20.00 but the reality is often 15.00 until 19.00 in the afternoon and from 08.00 in the morning. Confused ? There are now a number of shopping centers, namely the town centre which runs around Ermou St, Phaneromeni - which is basically the road running from Phaneromeni Church to the saltlake petrol station, Droshia, here you will find the thrift shop, and the new road, which used to be the ring road from the fire station to the port roundabout, where you will find the bigger stores such as Marks 'n Spensives, Chris cash and carry etc. There are more secondhand shops in Larnaca these days i.e. if you have something to sell, take it along and they will sell it for you for a small percentage.
